So your looking to build a low end computer. Something under 150 €/$/£ Well then here's what I recommend.
- CPU: I7 2600/3770 or Xeon 1230- V1/2
i7 2600s
These CPUs make for an exceptional performer. While power consumption is much to be desired. They tend to be quite powerful and found quite cheap.i think these are still decent budget offerings

- Intels own brand of MB can tend to be quite cheap and can be picked for as little as £15. Do research into the model of intel MB you'll be getting as these tend to be quite finicky from what I hear.

- If you've got a bit more to spend. I advice you go for the AMD Rx 480/570 or perhaps do what I did and save. I managed to get a gtx 980ti for a whopping £20.
- PSUS
- You should never cheap out on your PSU. Get a cheap name brand if possible. I recommend checking for old stock. And display items it's how I landed a Corsair CX550.for a whopping £27.58.
Whoa those CPUs are from 2012 / 2011 and yet are still faster than my i5 from 2017 (same number of cores). Those i7s age well.
I have a GTX 960 and it's way better than I expected.
Good list.
I've got a gtx 980ti absolute beauty both the 900 and 10xx series GPUs are amazing . Sadly those sandy/ivy bridge CPUs are getting older in years and don't support the latest instruction sets. But they are still perfect for running most games today.
