i will be using it for gaming and i want it to run most games on 60fps on medium to max settings. anything i can do to make it cheaper but have better performance. my budget is 630 euros. no more. sorry about the currency and all. im not really a pc expert so thats why i ask.

Sorry to tell you but this site your using really did almost rip you off. Built a rig 2 times as powerful for only 20 more euros added to the price. Here you go:

This is a major upgrade to the old one. Also I'm not sure if you knew about this site, but it is absolutely amazing. CPU/GPU double performance. 2x the amount of SSD space. And a little better motherboard. Hope you really do enjoy this build

EDIT: Just as a reassurance to you, these parts are all available to be shipped to the UK(thats why there is a 'uk.' before 'pcpartpicker.com')
Again, I hoped I helped you out

And sorry for the price mistake, Ill get right onto that.

you have given him a build in pound his was in euro .......he doesn't live in UK.....and the prices of the product is different in different countries and the diffrence can be huge a 500$ build in US can cost 700$ in another country...

yeah you definatly helped me out man! and this rig you are suggesting will run most games at 60 fps on max settings or medium? but those prices are in pounds btw. i live in the netherlands so i dont need them to go to the uk

but i will see if they are available here too. and otherwise ill just have them shipped here. i just need to figure out how to pay for it since the currency here is euros. but if this build is more powerfull then i will order the build you just gave me and you saved me a whole lot of money

thanks man!

EDIT: i just converted those 670 pounds to euros and i dont know if im doing something wrong or something but that is like 800 euros here haha. totally outside of my budget.

EDIT 2: if i just order it from the us then its alot cheaper and its 5 euros cheaper than my current build

I'm very sorry about the whole euro/pound thing. I get really confused

Anyway, I really do hope that you can forget about the mix up and goodluck with paying and actually building it
