YeahImAndrew Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 title. Looking to buy my first actual computer that isn't a laptop. I've been looking at some prebuilds but apparently they're bad value for the price. I would prefer stuff from sites like amazon cause it ships to norway + has free shipping i'm a noob at this pc building shit so pls help ty edit:would also prefer to get a keyboard as well edit 2:oh fuck i'd probably have to get windows for like $100 as well edit 3: mods delete thread i bought a prebuild after heavy consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lib3l Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not being that helpful towards the bill but you don't need to spend $100 on Windows. OEM sellers resell for as low as $3.00. That's what I got mine for and it's been working for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins_Mercury Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I don't know about $3 but I can tell you that I got a working Windows 10 Education key for $20 on reddit. Education is pretty much more control than Pro and you can even fully disable that telemetry and cortana stuff if you're worried about data collection. The subreddit is r/microsoftsoftwareswap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggetis Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Here's a pretty good build below your price range. Left some money leftover to buy the other stuff you need. The list only includes the computer parts. Should be able to play most AAA games at 60 fps. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NyNpJV Also, like the others said above, buy an OEM Windows key which is much cheaper.

If you're willing to wait a few weeks you can get ryzen 5 1500X (or 1400X if you want to go cheaper) which is basically like an i7 but slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
