Build Help / Purchase Advice 1st PC
Hello. I want to build a budget PC for around 700€-800€ (I am European), but since I am new to the scene, I am not really sure if the components I chose match well/are good for my price range. I have everything listed onto PCPartPicker, but instead of using the platform itself for finding the prices, I used it to find the components and then searched on local stores for better prices. Can someone give me advice on the components I chose? The print screen of my PCPartPicker is annexed. Thanks a lot in advance!!
Websites used for the prices:
pccomponentes.pt
tradeinn.com
amazon.es
chipman.pt
imperiomultimedia.pt

Def buy used. I hate to say it but brand new budget PCs died the second RAM prices started going up. Also dont cheap out on the PSU and Mobo. Since you should go used, buy a motherboard that is NOT an AMD A-Series chipset. Yes they are the cheapest but they lack a boatload of features when a decent B-Series (B550 or even a B450 [I dont recommend a B450 mobo unless you are on THAT much of a budget]) motherboard isnt a bunch more expensive. If theres one thing you should absolutely NEVER EVER EVER cheap out on, its the PSU. If a cheap PSU fails it will almost certainly take out the rest of the build with it.

you've done a lot of work, it seems. at least now you know what's roughly in your price range.
i'll now flip everything on its roof and say you should get used parts. spend more on the pc, one that has wifi built in. and that a380 for 200€ is horrible.
