I want the PC to come with Win7 64bit on it, don't need a monitor or mouse and keyboard, use what ever site you think is cheapest but 700 euro is my max, i'd like to be ale to play all the new games coming out on it but the only game i want high fps on are minecraft and cod4 aslong as i get around 60 on other games it's fine. Not sure if there will be anywhere that it can be built that cheap that ships to Ireland, i know off iBuypower you can get a i5 2500k 3.3ghz cpu, NVIDIA GeForce gtx 560 Ti GPU, and 4GB ram and all the other good stuff for about 900$ but, unfortunately they don't ship to Ireland, but yeah, as for processor i5 2500k or AMD Phemon II x6 and GPU what ever you can get that will run MC and COD4 at high FPS and all the new games at a decent fps 60 or so :p thanks
Don't bother with the X6, Get the AMD II X4 980 Black Edition. It's a great processor, and cheaper than both the X6 (6-core) and i5 2500k (quad-core). For a video card I have the GTX 560, and with that, the processor at 3.7GHz, and the DDR3 OCed to 1.3GHz from 1.06GHz, I play minecraft on fancy and far at 330 FPS, and fast amd tiny at 720FPS. I can also play Portal in full size at 90-120 FPS. The processor, video card and RAM cost ~ $440 / €320 / ₤270. I don't have a suggestion from where to buy it from. I'll repeat the parts I'm talking about:
-AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition ~ 170$ / 120€ / 104£
-EVGA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) GDDR5 1GB ~ 200$ / 140€ / 120£
-Antec 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 ~ 70$ / 50€ / 42£
For a tower, get the Antec Three Hundred Illusion. Only 70$, and the cooling inside is amazing. None of the parts go above 35 degrees Celsius.
About Windows, however, if you could get your hands on a disc for it and no code, I can buy one for 40$
Or do as Golagoda said, and pirate it.
Also, I have upgraded my video card and RAM, and my full build cost about 987$. The spoiler below contains the parts. You may not require some of these parts, so stick to the ones I listed above.
