Hello guys. I want to buy a new pc but i am a newbie. I am looking into used parts and i found an i7 920 for 20 euros and an lga 1366 mobo for 90 euros. Are these good for the money or would you suggest me something else for a cpu and mobo under 110 euros (combined). Thanks in advance.

20e is fine for i7 920 you can find tham here too,they are cheap because is really hard to find 1366 motherboard.
For 110euros i would recommend to go with 1155 socket you can probably find motherboard for 30e and for 80e you should be able to find i5 3470 or even i5 3570 and you will get way better performance than with old i7 920 but that is if you want to use your pc for gaming.

I would do a g3258 and a z97 mobo. It'll be a little more expensive to start with but it'll perform almost as well, maybe a even as good or better because of better driver support. Plus old components tend to be pricier and break more often than new components. If it were me I'd go with these two, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130779&cm_re=mobo-_-13-130-779-_-Product

but I'm in the US, I assume that you're in europe somewhere so I don't know what prices look like.
