I'm looking to get a PC made by PCSpecialist and I need help making it.
I have 2 MSI Optix G27C4 165Hz monitors.
The uses of the PC would be general use, watching yt videos. discord calls. + Gaming. games would be, dead by daylight. genshin impact. minecraft java/bedrock edition. roblox. fortnite. fnaf. gta 5.
I plan to purchase this PC within the next 2 weeks.
I'm in Ireland so my budget would be max 1000 euro so please make it on the Ireland website.
thanks in advance.

That’s most definitely not an entry level gaming PC. 32GB Ram? Cmon now.

As you can see, there are no 16GB 6000MHz kits available: that's the frequency sweetspot for AM5 and going lower reduces performance up to 20-30%. In any case, it would reduce the price by roughly 100€, which is still significantly higher than your budget.

Here's an example of a PC that no reasonable person would suggest in late 2024.
As you can see, your budget is insufficient even for a subpar build like this (even without the OS license).

Graphics Card
8GB XFX RADEON™ RX 7600 SWFT - HDMI, 3 x DP
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 4700MB/sW)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SOLIDIGM P41+ GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 4125MB/sR, 2950MB/sW)

Have you done any research into a new PC?

32GB is widely considered standard for gaming now. There are numerous YouTube videos on the subject.

Unfortunately components are just more expensive these days than previously and €1000 just wouldn't get you anything worthwhile. My advice would be to save up a bit more.

I'm asking for help with my own one not some other one.
No need to be smart bud.
I'm not being snarky. I'm telling you how you can get the build you're after for the price you're after.

You've got 2 1080p eSports gaming monitors, so we'd have to expect you want high-FPS 1080p performance.

We've said we can't make a worthwhile 1080p build for €1000 that meets that spec, but you claim to have seen lots of them on the forum for other users. Surely it's much easier for you to go back to one of the ones you've seen, than it is for us to go through every possible forum post for the ones you've seen.

As the configs are not locked to an individual, if you see something that meets your requirements you can simply click the link to the config, adjust it slightly if you want a different case, less RAM, etc., and click proceed to make it 'your own'. If you want our honest view on it, then please post the config you've decided on and we'll critique it.

Remember, we don't work for PCSpecialist, we're just volunteers.

There's not a chance you can at your budget. It's not even as if it's a close thing, you're out by a substantial margin.

You can't get a custom PC at that budget these days, just not possible, you'd need an old gen off the shelf that they're trying to clear stocks of.
