For 400 Euro he should be able to get atleast i5 2400 or i5 3450

Yeah but we only had the choice between i3 and Phenom II .

I don't like i3. I feel "limited" when I can't overclock . But more seriously I'd still choose Phenom II

I live in small European country and for 400 EUR I could get new computer with i5 2400 and 650ti in it
And prices are even better in USA
I am talking without monitor, but everything alse.
If you are counting new monitor into the price, thats another story.
If you can't get i5 2400 for 400 EUR without monitor, then place where you are buying is charging too much.
You should buy somewhere alse

Read my previous comment, its not expenive if you have 400 EURO to spare, WITHOUT buying new monitor as well

For example where I live i5 2400 is currently around 150 EURO.
What's the price where you live ?

EDIT: Actually I forgot how expensive HDD are these days, they were like 30 EUR 500 Gb now they are much more expensive..so I guess you are right it's almost doable if you can spare both HDD and monitor from old pc...

[simsalafan]

[admin89]

Try :
_i5 3350P (no integrated GPU , it's the cheapest i5 CPU)
_AMD 7750 GDDR5
_B75 motherboard (Any brand will do)
_Arctic MX-4

How much do those parts cost in your country ?

[simsalafan]

what is with a dd3 sdram?or midi tower?or hdd?or dvd burner?but the prize is 289,74 with your specified hardware

[admin89]

i switched to i5-3350P since it's abit cheaper

Ram : Gskill Ripjaws DDR3 1333MHz or 1600MHz
HDD : Western digital blue drive 7200rpm
DVD burner ? For Dolphin ?
Please post a link (online shopping) where he would buy those parts
