Looking for a decent gaming computer

[Watcher]

As the title says i am looking for a decent gaming computer and want to spend round 700 euro on it.
I live in Holland and rather buy a computer that is already build. If not don't mind building then one my self.

Almost bought the alienware-x51 but got advised in shoutbawx not to do. So
if you know a place where i can buy a decent computer let me know or a decent build pls

FX 8150 for gaming? Bad choice.A £50 Intel Pentium runs games better...
Get only 8GB RAM to as 16GB is over kill.
Grab a intel i5 2500K/3570K and you will be fine.
As for a graphics card aim for a AMD 7850 2GB, which you can get in a 700 euro build.

You can't order from these stores, and the price is US ofc... The EURO price is €704, though parts will be a bit more expensive, about 10% or 20% extra I guess.

don't take AMD FX-8150 the better choice is intel i5 but if u want to spend less money take amd phenom 2 x4

p.s i just bought components for pc

if u want to spend 150$ on an additiona hdd take and ssd for extra speed and 5sec booting
