So here it is! My first own build! I was planning this for a long time but the plan changed quite a lot compared to the original one. Now I expect many of you to find my choise of hardware questionable. Let me explain, in Greece the whole 'build your own PC' thing isn't really that popular, retailers take advantage of that and price products more expensive than the rest of Europe....
Named that way because it took so much time and frustration in order to get most of the parts on my hands. and the keyboard is still missing,,,
System Specs:
Keyboard is a CMstorm quickfire TL with Blues mouse is a zalman ZM100 (yes I plan to change mouses very often hence the price)
You probably are thinking atm that I could have bought an intel i5 instead of going AMD in terms of the platform... Well... the i5-4690k costs 300euros here, and a decent motherboard on the z97 would be another 140euros. I bought the 8350 for 170 euros and the motherboard for another 170 euros. Ordering parts from abroad (eg from Caseking) wasn't an option since the goverment has blocked transactions due to the unstable banking system.
I'll probably have it built by tomorrow evening, then the difficult part starts, trooubleshooting windows installs etc...
