My current PC:
Intel Core2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
GTX 460 Gainward GS
2x2gb 667 ram
CX500 Corsair PSU
My budget is 800 lv = $566
Can you recommend me some good cpu, ram and mobo for this money or should i buy new gpu? I want to use it for gaming :) ofc I'll not get 60+ fps but :D

Your fps is mainly a function of your graphics card.

For just a CPPU, mobo and ram - you can get Intel or AMD (as above) CPU. Intel might be a i5 4670k with a ASRock Z87 Extreme 4 mobo and GSkill 2 x 4GB 1866 RAM. And you might want a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. What's your budget?

If it absolutely has to be under $566, here's the same build with 4GB of RAM instead of 8GB:

I'm not entirely sure, honestly, that's just a collection of parts. If you go to that link and click on the individual parts, you may be able to find retailers that ship to Bulgaria, but I'm not 100% sure how different the prices will be unfortunately.

Edit: That said, you may be able to search local retailers for those specific parts and find them at equivalent prices.

US PC shops don't ship anywhere overseas. They seem to have some agreement to keep their discounted prices within the USA.

But you can pay to get it shipped to an USA address who then will ship it to you. Another BUT - USA shipping prices are ridiculously high.

So have a look in Europe. BUT probably not UK - they seem to have even higher prices than here in Australia.

Yep, that seems like a good idea. That processor and everything will last you awhile. I would recommend getting an aftermarket CPU cooler as well, as the stock one isn't very good, but with that set up you can save up for a good GPU and not have to worry about being bottlenecked anywhere else.

Edit: Don't forget to pick a solution if you're all set. :)

If you can afford a bit extra, I would actually get some Trident X 1600 instead of the Ripjaws, that's because the Trident X 1600 has very good timings. 1600 MHz @ 7 CAS latency is better than 1866 MHz @ 10 CAS latency, in my opinion. If that's not an option, however, then yeah, get the 1866 MHz.
