Need Help with 800-900 pc build

[Khoyez]

Hi, this is my first time building a gaming pc and i'm having a lot of trouble with choosing components. I've already bought a keyboard and a BENQ GL2460HM monitor, but i can't settle on the components. 

I also live in Italy so prices scale pretty badly, so i need help on choosing the best components. My budget is 800- 900 dollars.

[LukeSavenije]

just to ask, just the pc? and how much in euro's?

What components are you thinking? Austin has many guides for gaming PCs for different budgets. Also, can you get a prebuilt system in Italy for that cost? You will probably get some warranty on it as well.

Looking at around i5 level. However, prices could be pretty different in italy

yes, i only need the pc. Also because of taxes the prices are similar, so the budget is basically the same

i had chosen a gtx 1060 6 gb and a i3 8100. The other components varied, but in general i'm thinking 16 gb of ram and a 2 tb hdd coupled with an ssd.

i know, but i'm not sure how to pick the best components myself, and i often get contradicting advice, so i'm looking for a bit of help.

I would recommend an i5. 16 GB RAM is nice to have but 8 GB will be perfectly sufficient as well. You can always upgrade RAM in future but not the processor (unless you change the motherboard). You can put the extra money towards the processor.

Also have you looked into AMD? I personally prefer Intel for various reasons but AMD is a great budget alternative.

This is a build i had made, but the problem is that the 13 8100 prices are rising like hell and i'm not sure if i'm getting the best components for the price.

Thank you, but i was wondering if it would be a better case the one you put or the nxzt h500 br.

[LukeSavenije]

not at all. The price given in pcpartpicker is just way too high. how much would you pay for the h500 and how much for the h500i?

One thing I would recommend here, you are better off with an i5 and 250G SSD if you can fit that in your budget. 

Apart from that, if you still want to stick to i3, this is a good build. I am not sure about prices though. You can check historic prices on PC part picker, that should tell you about the value.

if you ask me you really shouldn't. there are a lot of games that need 16 these days. You should get the best value, not the cheapsest price
