I'm planning to build my first PC and could use advice on which parts to buy. My total budget is €1,000–€1,200, and I'm located in Germany. The budget should cover the PC itself, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, although I'm fine with inexpensive peripherals. I'll mainly use the system for gaming and would like triple-digit FPS in many games if possible, though I understand that may not be realistic for every title.

Since the monitor and peripherals are included, you’ll need to prioritize the PC hardware and keep the keyboard and mouse inexpensive. A good target would be a 1080p gaming setup with a strong midrange graphics card and a modern six-core processor. Triple-digit FPS should be achievable in esports and lighter games, while demanding AAA games may need reduced settings. It would also help to know which games you play and whether you want a 1080p or 1440p monitor before choosing exact parts.
I’m only planning to play games, and I’m fine with cheap keyboard and mouse options so more of the budget can go toward the PC. I’m mainly interested in getting the best gaming performance possible.
