Hello there!

I am looking for the following: A value gaming pc at about 500-600 euros, yes I know that is not too much. I do not need an OS, and I -can- possibly use an old case, but that one is only able to run like one fan, so it's ancient.

I have been looking at something alike to:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3uiqM <- this. The cost of the said build is at about 550euros, so the dollar = euro ratio is pretty accurate.

I will be buying all the parts in Denmark due to me ''living'' there about 3 months a year, wanting a secondary pc to the said home instead of my laptop.

- I'd prefer a wlan on the board, or just at least an additional card for wlan not much to trust usb solutions, just a justification for the mobo.

I want to run some games like:

World of warcraft medium-high settings (50-60fps)

Diablo 3: RoS (60fps, no matter of settings)

L4D2 ( medium to high settings, 60 fps if possible)

- IF these seem like an overkill for the money or so to achieve, please say what could be achieved and whatever could be changed. Thanks.

When it comes to case. I have no clue what I should be going with, honestly.

Yeah, Intel CPU's (especially Haswell) have very superior single thread application performance.

This is not necessarily accurate since prices are higher there. Like, these sames parts would be more to buy there than pricing them here and converting the monetary rate. Use uk.partpicker for more accurate pricing.

I meant more like 1dollar = 1 euro when it comes to pricing, as in that something that costs 100 dollars will cost 100 euros, even with value differences etc.

Thoughts on getting I3-4340 instead of the 760k and going with a possible other mobo? Friend said that the single thread performance might be worth the few euros extra.

Ah yes. I was trying to say that something that costs 100 USD will probably cost about 100 euros (even if the conversion is currently 100 euros = 132 USD) irrelevant however.

About the I5 4440, are you sure it's worth it to get 2more cores, at lower frequency for gaming, especially in these games? If so, why?
