Can anyone help with a custom Pc build I am wanting to make. I am looking to spend around €500 on parts to be sent to Ireland. I just want to be able to play most modern games on relatively high settings stably. I will spend more on it when the prices come down but for now I don’t want to spend too much. Any help is appreciated:)
 
Solution
GPU and RAM prices are really high right now. You are not going to be able to get a system that will run AAA games on high settings under your budget. This rig would do medium to low gaming for now, and you could drop a GPU in when prices go down.

With a bigger budget, you could go with the 1050ti. The 8100 is a much better CPU than the 2400g in the build above, but the 2400g has much better integrated graphics. So if you go with an 8100, you will need a GPU and the 1050ti is a really good budget GPU.
