I'm planning to buy a new gaming PC in Portugal with a budget of roughly €600–€750. That budget is for the computer tower only, so I can purchase the monitor separately. Would it be possible to build a capable gaming system using all-new parts, used parts, or a combination of both? My current PC suffers from frequent lag and FPS drops, and I'd really appreciate advice on choosing parts or figuring out whether the existing system can be upgraded.

Before recommending parts, it would help to know the full specifications of your current PC, including the processor, graphics card, RAM, storage, power supply, and motherboard. The lag and FPS drops might be caused by one upgradeable component rather than the whole system needing replacement.
That budget is only for the tower, correct? If the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and headphones are separate, €600–€750 can be enough for a solid entry-level gaming build. Used parts—especially the graphics card—could improve performance, but the exact build depends on the games you play and the prices available locally.
Yes, the monitor is outside the budget. The €600–€750 is only for the PC itself. I’ll provide my current system specifications as well.
