Changed a few things: Added a 250GB SSD for your OS, some programs and some small games (ex. CSGO, Overwatch). Going from a hard drive to an SSD makes a HUGE difference, definitely worth the extra cost. Changed HDD to WD Blue (Seagate drives aren't always the most reliable). And of course, added a nice pair of speakers :)
Most of your build looks fine, your processor will be enough for just playing games. Won't need a CPU Fan since the i3-6100 comes with one. Motherboard is fine, memory should be fine. Would recommend 16GB if the prices hadn't skyrocketed though. :( Don't be afraid to spend a little extra on a case, you'll have it for a while and you want to be certain that you love the looks of it since that's the component you'll see the most.
Did you want to be able to read/write CD's or DVD's? You would need an internal (which your case supports) or external writer. I think they run for about 15-20 bucks. Give or take 100 bucks for Windows 10 (if you don't already have a key, even if you have an OEM key you might be able to get it to work like I did).
Otherwise, I think that's a pretty good start for a PC. Won't be the best, no, but should do what you want just nicely. :)

i can install any windows by myself(maybe not w10), about the cd/dv i dont think that i will work with that, also about speaker, what are the function about them? i have never had things like that and i use headphones and i feel pretty well with them XD.
PD: My dad will be happy knowing he will have to pay 150€ less :P
PD1: I have realized it says that one of the articles is not in stock.
PD8000: Also would like to know if i will be able to upgrade the pc when it dies D:

Speakers are just handy to have for some, but as long as your case has some accessible USB ports or 3.5mm headphone jacks on it, it shouldn't be a problem. :)
Aye, and if you wanted to go further you could try building it yourself. Could even do it with your Dad. It's easier than it looks, the only thing is that it is time consuming. (Took me about 6 hours on my first build) But there are some youtube videos that do an excellent job of showing you the process. Here's one that I found to be pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zOYdNEHDQo
PD1: Which one of the components is that? The Power Supply?
Haha, hopefully it doesn't die on you too soon. :) Should last you 3-5 years, and that's just from the components becoming outdated, rather than dying. Could even stretch that out a couple years depending on how little you care about graphics, or if you don't write to your SSD a whole lot. However, whether or not you can upgrade depends entirely on when the component dies and which component it is. If your motherboard or processor die (in say, 3-5 years) you may have to get a new motherboard/processor since the 1151 socket may not be in production anymore. But if your graphics card was to die in 1 year, you could definitely find a replacement without having to change any other components.

Hey, Travis548's build looks pretty nice. The Seagate vs WD isn't an issue, just get which is cheaper (that's just a misunderstanding, it's more important to get the more produced HHD i.e. 1-2TB are good, but 3TB are bad as they make less of them). Also Depending on how much content/games you have you may want to bump up to a 2TB HHD as they aren't that much more usually. Again with the monitor, I'd go for a 24" (Benq) as this is a standard size, will most likely come with inbuilt speakers and will have less potential issues. Probably don't need that large of a power supply if you really want to save money, but it will set you up for later growth.
Parts such as the screen, mouse, keyboard, cases, RAM and GPU are often good to get preowned and you'll end up with a way better PC. I bought a GPU of someone who won it and got $270 off, so it's worth a try. Definitely worth it for accessories. Good luck with the build man!

I'd ditch the 6100 and go for the G4560 or G4600. Same amount of cores/threads on a newer architecture with a slight decrease in clock speed. With the money saved I'd get an SSD.
I don't know what the prices in your region are like or what the availability is like, but I'd try to get a better GPU so that I won't have to upgrade once again in the near future. Especially considering the fact that you didn't even reach close to what your maximum budget is.
On a final note, I'd go for a 24" IPS screen even if it's a mere 60Hz one. These should cost 40-50$ more compared to the one you have currently chosen.

I'd also ditch the i3 but would recommend a Ryzen 3 1200 instead. It has four actual physical cores instead of 2, has the same game performance, and would last a lot longer thanks to being a real quad-core. Costs the same too. Although for some reason that site does not have the cheapest motherboard for it, an ASRock A320M, only an ASUS one.

Changed a few parts for a ryzen 3 1200 build. You still have room for a SSD or a better GPU (like a gtx 1050 Ti). If you build a ryzen machine you will have to update your motherboard bios.
Comment has been collapsed.
I would also prefer the 1200 for myself, however the single core performance is kinda disappointing. It sure is way more future proof solely due to being a quad-core, but the G4560 does better in gaming (if that's all you do).
Admittedly, the difference is small and should be worth it to trade that performance for more cores from which you may get benefited in the future.
We should also take into account the regional pricing as it sometimes tends to be far off, especially when the availability is low. Here for example, I'd have to spend an extra 70-80€ to go for the 1200.

I checked that, the Ryzen was only €10 more expensive than the i3-6100. Otherwise I would have defaulted to the Pentium as well. Although ever since Intel realised that they made an actually good Pentium with a stupid good price, they increased the price on said Pentium, so it is only a marginally better alternative.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeap, the price got freaking screwed. It was 65-70€ here, but due to low availability I had to pay 85€ to buy one a couple of weeks ago.
I would probably still go for the Pentium solely because I'd be able to get a better GPU, even if I hate the idea of buying a 2c CPU nowadays. The RX 560 is meh.

best bang for the buck:
cpu: ryzen 1200 4cores 4threads absolutley tits performance + overclockable up to 4 GHz+
mobo: get a OC'able mainboard (any AM4 mobo with B350 chipset with good ratings should do asus > giga > asrock)
gpu: as deep as your pockets go ... GTX 1060 6GB > GTX 1070 > RX 580 ... prices are shit though lol
ram: hella expensive ... but try to get a decent brand with 1x 8GB DDR4 stick the higher the MHz the better
psu: buy a good brand and 80+ efficiency - Wattage required depends on the GPU but its surely 450 - 500W MAX.
ssd: m.2. or regular sata 6 ssd with 120GB the better the 4K read/write the faster it is in benchmarks (250GB best price/value)
some hdd ... seagate or wd ... not much of a choice anyway but make it 2TB its likely the best price/value-ratio
case: amazon warehouse deals > corsair and other decent brands ...
Comment has been collapsed.
then you could save the bucks and buy the AM4 mainboards with the
cheapest chipset (less features you won't need anyway for gaming)
so i would be okay with high fps on medium graphics
overlooked that - then a RX 560, GTX 1050 Ti is likely the best /value ...
depending on the markets offering (resulting in a max 400W PSU requirement)

Im from spain so i cannot buy things from outside :D
Hi! My laptop(YES LAPTOP xD ) will die soon and i must buy another pc,( now i wont buy a laptop) , my max budget is 920€ (maybe 940€)) and i need to buy a monitor(i dont know if is the same in english) plus keyboardard, mouse and wifi for the pc
Maybe 920€ is a lot for what I want, thats why i need your help, i play games but i dont want to play them at ultra with 60 fps( i have been all my life playing games at lowest graphics so i would be okay with high fps on medium graphics,
here is a build that i have setup ( because i dont know much about builds) and i have researched A LOT but im not convinced yet, take a look please.
Also the assembly could be made by some people i worked with that know how to do so i dont have to spend 40€ on it.
Plus 15-20€ of shipment if i dont buy the components in shops of my city.(
https://www.pccomponentes.com/configurador/4340546d7
modify this up to 920 including assembly if you want, thx for your help. maybe i will need to pay for assembly :(
And use your configurator if you want
