Hi!

Im planning to buy a new gaming computer (and build it myself, I know people who can help me) but I don't have enough experience with computer components so I thought that I could get some help from more experienced people. Though, I have a pretty strict budget, around $800-$850 which means that I won't be able to get ex. the best graphics card on the market. Luckily, I'm not plannig to play games which needs a computer with extremely good specs, mostly League Of Legends, Counter-Strike, ArchAge, and some other smaller games.

I'm from Sweden so I'm going to use this site to buy my components from: https://www.komplett.se/k/kd.aspx?bn=10000

Also, I don't feel like having a case for a lot of money is not necessary (I don't care about how it looks), if not a cheap case makes it difficult to install etc.

I appriciate all help which is available!
Thanks!

Get one of Komplett.se rigs that they build for you. The price is not that far from what you would pay in total for separate parts, and they test and dial in all the basic settings/clocks etc for you. Well worth the extra $10 over putting it together yourself.

Ps. It's only worth purchasing your components separately when you're building a top tier pc that you will be over clocking and therefore looking at best performance components that best match each other, and the water cooling system that you will be installing.

For "basic" computers at € 500-1000 there isn't really alot of gains to be made, and unless you know with ease how to rig one up (but then you wouldn't be here asking) then it's simpler and well worth it just to purchase a reputable store, as komplett.se, recomended 'gaming rig' that they build, and send as a finished product to your house or pick up point.
