Building a PC for my friend...It's done, but could it be better?

Depending on where in Denmark you live, a little trip across the border to Germany might not be a bad idea. I don't know if there are any decent computer shops in that area, but at the most you should have to go to Hamburg.

Woah, I thought I'd never see a country more expensive than Norway. Congratulations Denmark, this is a really awesome achievement. You finally beat us "fjeldaber" in something else than football

No, but seriously. Order your parts from Germany, you don't pay toll in EU afaik and you will find lower prices there. Don't think I've ever seen prices that high for equipment, what happened?

Theres no point buying from germany, the price is exactly the same in Denmark.
90+10 = 750 kr

If you buy the whole build there together it's still only 9.99 for shipping. When you add it up for the whole system you will save money.

True that, but it's not much at all.

CPUHS: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - 252 DKK (stock cooler is fine for no or very light OC, this one is decent if you decide to get an aftermarket cooler)

Each component price should be including shipping cost so the total might be lower overall but it should be close enough. This should be ~$1100

There is an SSD and 1TB storage drive and a much better CPU.

If you like a modular PSU I would recommend one of these:

Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M - 617 DKK
Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX550M - 582 DKK

a GTX 660ti would be a nice step up and would but that would use up all of the budget, I'm just showing you it's possible if you decide to get it.

Gigabyte GTX 660ti - 2019 DKK
