I want to build my own pc for 300-350€
And I want your help. I want it to be at least quad core and be able to play games like gta v, modern warfare, bioschock, minecraft and so on.
Can you give me a pc recipe?
Note: price doesn't include peripherals, like the screen.
 
Cross GTA V off of that list I think.

Your budget should be in rands, you are in South Africa.
Your budget is about: R4000-R4500.

Do you have links to any online component shops in greece? Maybe we can help...

350 euro is a bit low for a gaming pc, can you up your budget by any chance?
Do you need hard drives, case, psu etc?
What components do you currently have?

Apologies, thought you were from South Africa, nice to see people from other countries on the forum.

I think you will have issues finding anything though at that price range, also not many of us know of good deals in Greece.

I am most likely going to buy things from ebay or amazon and have them shipped to me or I will ask a technician to build it for me and give him the recipe.

Don't you think it would be better to save a bit more for a while instead of buying now & then upgrading which is gonna cost more money?

It's really hard to build anything gaming related for 350 euros.

You have not mentioned if you have other components like hard drives etc you can carry over to a new build.

You could drop one 4GB memory stick but this build is still short of a case & HDD...

Later on get an i5 as you said you would upgrade.

This makes no sense as it's way over €350. Is your budget still €350 or has it changed? What is your budget?

That GPU you got there is absolutely useless, you cant use it for gaming. You might as well take the money you spend on it and piss it out. Understand this, the GPU is the most important part in a gaming rig when it comes to performance, do not cut corners in this department!

You have a SSD listed which is not an option in your budget.

You have picked motherboards that could be cheaper.

You seem set on AMD so stick with the FX-6300 but you could get it for €10 less I suspect. You'll need a decent MB & cooler to overclock it though if you are keen to do that.
