Thank you, @Aydin and @Luls.
All of the recommendations I make are merely places to start, as I mention in pretty much every closing note.Quote:

Just keep that in mind. Not sure how "tech-savvy" you are, but I've seen people make this mistake far too often.
@J.Dre
I'm really not at all, so I'll keep all your recommendations in mind. Thanks again.
If for gaming, this is the build guide in budget http://pc4u.org/best-gaming-pc-build-under-500-dollars/
@J.Dre , not sure if this has been asked but difference between windows 7 and 8? Any pros and cons you know of between the 2?
For gaming, the greatest benefit is DirectX support. You should be waiting for Windows 10. It will be much better than 8/8.1.Quote:

@J.Dre
after long considerations , I came to the conclusion but would appreciate feedback as well .

Tho what you might do is give your old pc to your gf and build a better one yourself :p
but then again i dont know what you/she want to do with it.
Okei thanks for the tipps :P i guess the budget is 150 €. is it possible in that budget to build a pc? she wants to play sims on it and do shool work lol it should run quite fast and fluently.Quote:

Anyway, the 760 & the corsair VS series are outdated and no longer sold I believe. Where did you find a 760 for sale? The PSU is fine, it's good enough. Case is fine too.
What's your budget? 800-900$? What about a hdd and ssd?
First, pick a graphics card, a 290x or a 970 and build a system around that.
hdd probably gonna be a 1 TB western digital of some sorts and no ssd ( unless you know a cheap one ) but I can't figure out how it performs or how it changes my pc .Quote:

Whatcha think

I'm not saying you should get a pentium, you shouldn't, but I don't think you need the 4690k but if you get it, you dont need the hyper 212 evo.
As for motherboards, you can get like a 50$ one.
You can get a 290x for 300$ and the i5 for 215$.
60$ ram g.skill dd3 4x2 2133mhz, 50$~ psu corsair cx600, 50$ hdd seagate 1tb, 50$ case, 75$ motherboard. More or less 800$. For a case, I suggest looking at Fractal, NZXT and possibly Corsair. As for motherboard, idk. If you can squeeze out a little more money, buy the hyper 212 evo.
I was looking to get 4460 i5 but in the near future the i5 as a total will be outdated so getting a K processor is a wise investment and the 4670k is the i5 top notch so if I am gonna buy anything I am gonna get it , It servers the purpose for years to come . I am gonna try and get the gtx 970 and try and squeeze a little more money for the other stuff . God help me Im going broke :DQuote:

Skylake is set to debut. A new socket type (LGA 1151) is replacing LGA 1150, which is what you'd be buying now.
I am aware of that but you gotta understand that Anything new will be way overpriced here in Egypt so it's not an option really as my budget will be well on it's way sky high so I gotta consider other options . What do you think about a suitable build with 4690k for the above reasons i mentioned.Quote:

I won't know how finals actually went until Monday or Tuesday, but I expect fairly well. Thank you for asking. :) And yes, you're in Egypt - prices will be high and it will probably be a while before you even have access to such new stuff.Quote:

Notes: I would recommend you start with these specifications and go from there. The motherboard I chose has great reviews, offers great reliability, and has an outstanding 5-year replacement warranty. The CPU cooler is something you'll definitely want. The GTX 960 is way better than the 760, and totally worth the extra cost.

I appreciate the reply but some of the Hardware you posted isn't in Egypt such as The MOBO and some parts are way overpriced when multiplied with usd factor here so it's just not within my price range .Quote:

That's almost always a problem - the price difference. You should get a quad-core CPU for sure, and go for a good motherboard.Quote:

The i5 4460 is a 4 core CPU and it isn't weak, it's a good choice. Replace the 960 with a 280x instead for more performance. @kolibalQuote:

The new GTX 980Ti has finally launched. And as predicted, it is a re-branded Titan X with a much better price tag & less VRAM.
Really thinking about buying a new desktop this autumn, wonder how long we have to wait til AMD drops the 300 series.
I will probably buy the 290x for a reduced price, seems to be performing similiar to a gtx970 in the benchmarks..
@J.Dre , running on an old wins 7 laptop, got a notification from Microsoft offering free upgrade to wins 10. Do you know if this is actually going to be a FULL free version? Had a few friends receive the same notification too.
Yes, it's the full version - free upgrade for one year (12 months). After that, you have to pay to upgrade. Not sure how much.Quote:

The R9 Fury X comes out on top in every single one of the following benchmarks. However, in a number of games, the result is much closer to a tie. And based on what we know of the 980Ti’s and Titan X’s performance, substituting the 980Ti with a Titan X will not do much to close the gap. Granted the Titan X will edge out Fury X in a handful of the tested games, but that’s not going to be enough to change the outcome.Fury X would still end up with more wins than losses.
http://i57.tinypic.com/2pzxim8.jpg
Price starts at a competitively set $649 with the 980Ti.
You may also want to checkout their other Radeon R9 series products, like the R9 NANO, which performs better than the R290x.
The only sad thing about AMD´s new top notch series is that it only surpasses nvidia cards in 4k. Other benchmarks for "normal" gaming are not as much in AMD´s favor..
At least they're back in the game. That's what I'm happy about. Competition breeds success.Quote:

Reasonable high performance will be around 800-1000 euros at least. Processor (100-200 euros (i5 series)) - Ssd (250gb 90-130€ - 500gb 170-200€) <-- would recommend it, but it is not a 'need' - HDD 3TB (120€) - At least a videocard of 2GB (120-200 euros) <-> 4gb (200-400 euros) -RAM(8gb ~ 40-60€ --- 16GB ~ 100-150€) - Motherboard (90-150€) - Power supply at least 600W (20-120€) - Case (Mid tower (40-120€) Full tower (90-200€))
