Invest a bit more to get a better CPU.
Also, does the PC have SSD or HDD?

Best is to build one yourself and not buy a pre-built. You are going to learn a lot of things and pay way less. Worth the experience too.

What is your budget, and are you willing to build one yourself? Are you also only buying a CPU, GPU and RAM or other things too?

Only that I guess, budget's about 500 euros, what do you mean by other things?

You reckon I could build a better one with the given budget? I've thought about building one but I have no idea how to put it together but if I could build a better one (than this), I'd do it with the help of you guys and youtube. Buuuut on the other hand 500 euros don't seem like enough to build one. (once again I don't even know the prices, might be wrong but just guessin')

Building is cheaper, unless you get a really nifty deal somewhere.
Yes, you can build PCs for 100 euros even, the trick is getting the parts cheap enough.


If you can do , there's a pretty large chance you're able to build a PC (instead of plastic shapes you have cables).

Well what you surely need: CPU, GPU, RAM, PSU, CASE, HDD OR SSD, MOTHERBOARD.

Then the peripherals; monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.

Do you have any of those already? Do you want to re-use any of those you already have? Are you also going to purchase a new monitor or will you be using the one you got currently?

In fact 500 euros is enough to build an average PC. I built mine for a bit less than 600 euros but that's because all of my components were brand new ones. If it was a pre-built one (they also charge you for the OS usually) I would have paid around 700-800 euros, if not more.

Tell me your current PC specs.

Hit me up on discord (Mastro#9015) and I will help you out with anything you need. Just please don't buy a pre-built one, you will regret it.

I have a monitor, keyboard and a mouse. I don't have any of those I could re-use since I have a laptop. Current specs are

i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHZ
8gb ram
nvidia gforce gtx960m

I'll prolly built one myself and I'll surely hit you up on discord when the time comes, thanks alot.

RX 580 8G Sapphire GPU (~165€)
Ryzen 5 3600 (~178€)
4x2 GB DDR4 CL15 HyperX 2666 MHz ramsticks (~41€)

Buy this, total around 384 euros, and a lot better, if you have more money you can buy GTX 1660Ti instead, will get even much better performance.

Aight so 500 euros budget? I will try to look into some parts for you and get some opinions. You will be able to build a fairly decent one. Where will you be purchasing your parts from? Is there a site in Macedonia?
