Hi guys.A friend asked me to build a PC for him with a budget of 820 BGN (Bulgarian Levs) which is equal to 517 USD or 420 EURO.
Approximate Purchase Date: the closer the better
Budget Range: 820 BGN
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Parts Not Required: he only needs a PC
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any website is good as long as it can ship the PC to bulgaria.
Country: Bulgaria
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: Not any time soon
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024 now, 1920x1080 after two months
Additional Comments: The PC isnt going to recieve any upgrades for years.It must be as future proof as possible.
After i looked up the prices at Amazon.com this is what i came up with:
