I need a keyboard too, not sure which to get and it seems hard to find one in a Swedish/Finnish layout.

This is for my girlfriend, she picked the case, so I hope it's suitable lol. Not an expert on building PCs, but if anyone can help/point me out on parts I need to change then please do! Many of these items will probably cost more so don't worry about the budget, I'll have them bought from different stores, not necessarily the ones from above. I can order many of the parts from Amazon UK and have them shipped to Finland, it doesn't seem to cost too much that way. If it's cheaper I can also order from any Finnish stores, if anyone knows any.

Thanks again!

Seems hard to find all the stuff but if someone can just help me come up with a build in GBP and I can try find the equivalent in EUR in Finnish stores or, if cheaper, on Amazon UK (which is the listed price plus ~5% for taxes, shipping, etc).

+4months is alot of time for pc parts. Many things will change, to start with, new gpu's will be out. I would advise you when you are ready to purchase like say 7-10days make a thread asking for help.

[Adam552]

Updated front post, the time has come, will be ordering this in a week or so! I need help finding a keyboard, and would like comments on the build so far. If anyone can find the items from Finnish stores for good prices, that will help me a lot too!

I've found a keyboard now, just need someone to point out any problems with build if there are any, I don't see any compatibility problems but wouldn't mind if someone could check.

I would avoid the Corsair CX line PSUs. Their OEM is not one of the best. I stick to XFX as they use Seasonic OEM exclusively or Season PSUs themselves.

My take on the build.

I know she picked out the case, but I'd suggest the one linked as it's got MUCH more features (fan filters, fan controller, sound dampening material) and much higher build quality. You can run it by here and see what she thinks. It's also much more quiet.

Swapped out some parts for better price to performance. Kept the monitor since it's what you picked although there are some other similarly priced options such as the Dell P2314H, P2414H, and U2414H (my personal favorite). Also swapped the PSU for something much higher quality.

I do recommend adding on an SSD if you can afford it. Will give the system much more responsiveness. A 120GB or 256GB 850 EVO would be a nice addition (depending on how much space you plan to use on it and how much you want to spend).

Thanks for the input all, it's really useful ^^. What do you guys think of the Corsair RM series btw?

[Deleted]

Considering prices atm they aren't worth it. You can get equally good or even better for less money, simple as that. Unless, obviously, you found a sweet deal somewhere.

Alright thanks, it was more to do with finding a EU version PSU on Amazon UK instead of a UK one.

Yeah if sockets are different, most likely, better buy the psu locally even for a few euro more. An adapter alone would probably cover the difference if any.
