I need a gaming pc for 550-600 euros with shipping, the hard thing is I live in Malta so I don't know what to do ? And preferably from the same website (Don't care if ready built or not)
 
Even in Euros that is way low, especially as you want shipping and that Euro tax included (so your actually talking 400-475Euros) , which is NOT doable for a 'gaming PC'. Invest (since your budget is too low) in a PS4 or other console, you will get BETTER results then the PC. For example that PC would NOT play Assassin Creed 4 that came out, it would be too low end hardware to support it. Conversely on a PS4 you can play it 1080P at 60FPS.

Or save up and DOUBLE your budget to get a proper PC gaming system.

Things in that page are overpriced but if you don't have anything else then:

CPU FX-4300: http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/874596/Quad-Core-PC-base-AMD-AM3 91.99
MOBO Just one small one ;): http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/874064/MSI-MSI-760GM-P23-FX-Socket-AMD-AM3-Channel-Audio-Micro-ATX-Motherboard 39.95
Memory 1600 Corsair: http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/873242/Corsair-240-pin-DIMM-DDR3-RAM-PC-Memory 86.99
GPU 260X: http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/792436/Graphics-card-Sapphire-2-GB-GDDR5-RAM-PCIe-x16 125
Hard Drive 1Tb Seagate: http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/416420/SeagateHard-disk-ST1000DM003-1-TB-35--64-MB 55.99

Special (you should search a local shop for these things since the case is expensive and there should be 20€ ATX cases in local shops):
LG DVD Writer http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/1020771/LG-DVD-BRENNER-SATA-BULK-SW-GH24NSB0 17.95
micro-ATX Case http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/1070546/Xigmatek-CCM-23ABX-U01-Micro-ATX-Mini-ITX-Computer-Case-1-External-Slots-2-Internal-Slots 32.95
http://www.conrad.com/ce/en/product/986276/LC-Power-LC500H-12-PC-power-supply 41.95

Total 492,77

You will game at 720 and 900p closely to a Xbox One.
BTW You should search for a better PSU, some nox and tacens (european psus) have channel well construction (same as corsair) and are cheap.
 
Solution


As I said "DOUBLE your budget". But it all depends what your wanting to play, at what video settings, at what graphics settings and what 'performance' level your expecting minimally. The 'I seen on Youtube' standard is normally 1080p displayed, on High graphics settings in the game, and getting 50FPS or better.

To see how this pans out in hardware, for say the current testing standard: WatchDogs
Per Forbes http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2014/05/26/watch-dogs-pc-benchmark-results-multiple-amd-and-nvidia-cards-tested/ your best bet would be GTX 770 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nvidia-video-card-900120052500000) or a Radeon 280x (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/visiontek-video-card-900652) which are $355 and $260US respectively, for nothing more then JUST the video card. Hence investing in say a AMD FX-8350 based system (as noted in TechSpot http://www.techspot.com/review/827-watch-dogs-benchmarks/page5.html) to keep pace with the video card you would still have a build like this http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/amd_gaming_PC_2013 still costing $1200 even if you ditched both the SSD and 4TB drive and just got a off the shelf 1TB 7200RPM single drive for $50 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st31000524ns)
