I am about to buy a brand new pc (i need a monitor too) and i am wondering whether to buy or to build a new pc. To be more specific i have a budget of 600-700€ to buy both a pc and a monitor. I haven't built any pc earlier in my life so i'm a little nervous about it. I mainly want that pc to play Lol and hearthstone, so I don't want a very powerful pc. Instead I 'd want one that plays these games in medium-high settings. Can you answer me, in addition to suggesting a nice pc and monitor for my budget?

thanks for your answer, but i have a few more questions. First of all, how can i find out if the parts can actually work together and everything is fine? for example maybe the power supply isnt enough or the video card isnt supported by the system. Secondly is there a way in order to pay in euros (€) and not in pounds (£) because I actually can't pay with pounds.

The website I use informs the user if anything is not compatible and so far everything is. I am really sorry but I am not in Europe so I don't know much about the currency there. But what I know you can do, is head to a computer store or website and check out the parts I listed. If you encounter any problems just PM me.

ok i understand you, but theres another problem. pounds are have not the same value that euros have. So the final price of your suggestion is equal to 912 in euros. because i dont have so much money could you please make a cheaper list between 480-560 pounds (£)? Thank you so much for your efforts to help me and I ll be waiting your suggestion! :)

I changed the CPU and motherboard to fit your budget and took out the wireless adapter unless you will connect to the internet wirelessly.

Customising is easy. Here's the link.

So on the right there is an "edit" icon click that then it's pretty straightforward just change what you want. Contact me if you have trouble.
