    Well... for countries that have adopted the euro as their currency, buying things from the UK is rarely worth it. The cheapest deals are in amazon, where everything is way cheaper. The only issue is that certain items (in most cases the gpu) do not cheap internationally.

    I did? My bad then. The country is Portugal, but everything here is way more expensive... and the online website would be www.kuantokusta.pt

    Most of the hardware in these builds don't ship to europe :( and that's the deciding factor. I don't really care about the promotions, as long as I can get them for a fair price (preferably in amazon since it's cheaper). For example, in your last build, I found everything but the GPU.

    So is my updated build better than krusha's? (Performance wise)

    Need help for my first build

    Would this be a more viable and better option? CPU:AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor ($69.99 @ NCIX US) Motherboard:ASRock FM2A88M PRO3+ Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($48.98 @ Newegg) Memory:A-Data XPG V2 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory($47.99 @ Newegg) Storage:Western Digital...

    Need help for my first build

    So I'm back again and I would like to know if there's any build better now. I'm probably going to acquire this build: CPU:AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz Quad-Core Processor ($72.99 @ NCIX US) Motherboard:Asus A88XM-A Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($52.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory:G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2...

    No point in stretching my budget, krusha's first system seems pretty solid. The last thing I need is a monitor, preferably cheap.

    I'm really not interested in the looks, if I can buy a cheaper case then be it.

    Need help for my first build

    Dumb question: would krusha's first system fit any computer case. It seems unlogical to order a case when I can just get one from any electronics store.

    Will do, anyway, thanks!

    Need help for my first build

    I'm only planning on buying the system in a couple of months. Do you think that by then there will be better hardware? Or will the hardware of this system just become cheaper?

    Need help for my first build

    I might go with the first option by krusha03 as I'm not planning to upgrade it. Anyhow, thanks for the feedback and input!

    Hey!
