How to Build a Budget PC for Gaming Under €500?
Asked by

I'm looking to build a second gaming PC with a budget of around €400 to €500. My current setup, which is roughly 10 years old, runs games like Rainbow Six Siege and Minecraft at 60-130 FPS on low settings. I'm not looking for peripherals like a keyboard, mouse, or monitor; I just need help with the PC configuration. If necessary, I can stretch the budget a bit, but ideally, I'd like to stick to that range. I also have €100 allocated for RAM, and I'm open to considering second-hand parts if that helps with the budget. Here's my current configuration for reference:
- Motherboard: MSI X99A GAMING 7
- CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K (6 cores / 12 threads, 3.30 GHz)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4 GB)
- RAM: 8 GB DDR4 (2400 MHz)
- Storage: Samsung 970 EVO 250 GB (NVMe SSD), WD 1 TB (HDD), Seagate 3 TB 7200 RPM (HDD)
- OS: Windows 10 Pro (22H2)
If it's not feasible to match or slightly improve my current setup for this price, I'd appreciate any suggestions for a build around €400-€500.

You might want to consider buying a used PC instead of separate parts for your budget. It can often be cheaper and more convenient, especially around the €400 range.
