I'm planning to buy a new gaming computer within the price range mentioned above. Besides the build itself (including the case), I also need a monitor and a keyboard. I'll play games like minecraft, insurgency, L4D2, Rust, Civ 5 and other more demanding ones such as bioshock infinite, arma III, dayz and payday 2. What do you recommend?
500-600€ gaming pc build

What part of the Euro world or can we look anywhere to find the best deal on parts?
OK. I found your other thread and know that you are from Portugal.
Where do you buy your parts from?
Using PCpartpicker from Spain, I get this:

It's far too much for your budget, but I see nowhere that significant cuts can (230 Euro worth) can be made without compromising quality too much.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I don't need the OS or the HDD. I'm almost sure that the prices in Spain are higher than in here. Try this shop: http://www.alientech.pt
If you can't understand anything (it's in portuguese), try to find the best deals in one of the countries of the Euro zone and then I'll compare them to the ones in my country.

OK. I'm working on it.
It does not look good. The prices I found on that site are higher than Amazon Espana.

I think we're going to decide on a build and then rummage around Europe for the cheapest parts.

Ok, thank you. Only one last request: can you make the build using the prices of the site that I've mentioned? (I don't know if I'll be able to buy it online). Probably you'll have to choose some cheaper parts so that the total is within the budget (do your best even if performance is compromised).

You need at least 120 Euros for a GPU, and more would be better.
We can save 60 Euros by dropping to an i3 4160, but that's about it.
We could also save money by going back to a last-generation LGA1155 CPU/Motherboard, but I don't like that.
