This is my first gaming pc. Its a Dell Optiplex 7010, so yeah its an oem but I added a new psu, gpu, fan, new cpu, ssd and another 4gb of ram I got the pc for 20 Euros, the gpu i got from a friend, the psu was around 50 Euros, the i5 3470 and the ram I found in a pc recycling shop so it was free and the ssd was another 20 euros, so about 90 to a 100 EurosThe monitor I got from my uncle, the keyboard and mouse from another friend and the logitech headphones were around 40 Euros. If I didn't spell something correctly, Im sorry, Im not from an English speaking country
 
Congratulations on your first build effort. A lot of people just go with off the shelf. You put in the effort to make it yours.
 
Congratulations! That's an excellent and affordable PC.

I'm excited to see what's coming next!
 
Nicely done! A great place to start. Don't try to build the space shuttle on your first attempt to get off the ground. The Zalman cooler on the gpu is sweet.

I voted 7/10 because:

Considering your budget, you did a really good job!
That CPU packs quite a punch as long as you keep it on its limits, you could also swap it for a 4 cores 8 threads Xeon, no to mention a more recent GPU.
Good luck, mate!
