I live in Denmark and have a budget of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 Danish kroner for a complete gaming computer. I'm not very familiar with choosing compatible parts, so I'd really appreciate help putting together a balanced build. I'm mainly looking for an all-around system for gaming, and I'm open to buying used components if that's what it takes to stay within budget.

That budget is fairly tight for a brand-new gaming PC, especially if you want modern components across the board. I’d look at used listings for the CPU and graphics card while buying the less risky parts—such as the case, power supply, storage, and possibly the motherboard—new. A balanced build should target 1080p gaming, with the graphics card getting as much of the budget as possible. If necessary, choosing a version with 8 GB of VRAM could help keep the total price down.
A prebuilt system can also be worth considering if you find one on sale, since it may include a better overall combination of parts than buying everything separately at full price. At this budget, realistic expectations are important: 1080p is the sensible target, while higher resolutions or very demanding games may require reduced settings. Compare the exact CPU, graphics card, RAM, storage, and power supply before buying rather than judging by the advertised gaming label alone.
Thank you! I’ll keep an eye out for discounted prebuilts and make sure to check the individual components.
Thanks a lot! That gives me a much better idea of where I should be flexible with the budget.
