Assembled PC of excellent level from 600 Euro with high performance

We need a new PC but we want to assemble it by ourselves, without necessarily having to buy a preassembled (which will inevitably have some too cheap component) "> good set of screwdrivers.

How to assemble a € 600 PC

For the guide we will not take into consideration the external parts of the computer, that is keyboard, mouse, Windows license and monitor that we take for granted you already have.
We will show you three configurations: one with Intel processor and NVIDIA graphics card, one with processor and graphics card both signed by AMD and the last to create a powerful office PC without a dedicated graphics card, so you can independently choose the one that best suits our needs. needs. We can of course also "mix" some components (video card, RAM memories, SSDs etc.), but we pay particular attention to the CPUs and motherboards, which must be compatible with each other; in this regard, we invite you to read our guide to the differences between AMD processors and Intel Core CPUs .

Intel and NVIDIA PCs

If we want a PC with a new generation Intel processor and a dedicated NVIDIA video card, here is the complete list of components to buy to make the € 600 PC.

1. PC case : Sharkoon VS4-V Midi-Tower (27 €)
2. Processor : Intel Core i5-9400F 2.9 GHz (169 €)
3. Motherboard : Gigabyte Z390 UD (115 €)
4. RAM memories : HyperX FURY DDR4 8 GB (2x4 GB), 2666 MHz (52 €)
5. Power supply : Corsair VS650 650 W power supply (54 €)
6. SATA SSD : Kingston A400 SSD, 480 GB Solid State Drive (€ 49)
7. Video card : GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB (173 €)

At a cost of € 585 we can create a powerful PC with a latest generation Intel CPU (with 6 physical cores), a motherboard with support for all the latest technologies, 8GB of DDR4 type RAM, a very large power supply, a classic 480 GB SATA type SSD and an NVIDIA video card with automatic overclocking and 4 GB of video memory, so you can start any 3D program and play practically any game (by adjusting the settings at medium level).

PC AMD

If instead we want to save something but we don't want to give up creating a powerful PC, we can create a computer with all the main components branded AMD, namely processor and video card. In terms of performance it will be practically identical to that seen a little while ago, but we will have saved something and we will also have a slightly more powerful video card than the Intel configuration. Below we can find the list of components to buy.

1. PC case : Sharkoon VS4-V Midi-Tower (27 €)
2. Processor : AMD Ryzen 3 2200G (92 €)
3. Motherboard : Gigabyte B450M DS3H (76 €)
4. RAM memories : HyperX FURY DDR4 8 GB (2x4 GB), 2666 MHz (52 €)
5. Power supply : Corsair VS650 650 W power supply (54 €)
6. SATA SSD : Kingston A400 SSD, 480 GB Solid State Drive (€ 49)
7. Video card : Sapphire Radeon AMD Radeon RX 590 Nitro + (€ 229)

With an expense of € 579 we will have created a very powerful computer with two video cards (one integrated within the CPU, the other dedicated), so you can play some modern games or start some program with 3D acceleration without any problem . The rest of the components are identical to the Intel PC, with the only difference that the motherboard is slightly smaller than the model examined for Intel (for AMD the motherboard has a micro-ATX form factor, however compatible with the case chosen).

Powerful PC without dedicated video card

If we want to make a complete and powerful office PC, we can save the money of the dedicated video card (in any case we can take advantage of the one integrated in the processors) to choose a faster processor, increase the amount of RAM or focus on M.2 SSDs, so as to obtain superior performance when we open multiple programs simultaneously. To create the office PC let's stick to the following components.

1. PC case : Sharkoon VS4-V Midi-Tower (27 €)
2. Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 2600x (179 €)
3. Motherboard : Gigabyte B450M DS3H (76 €)
4. RAM memories : Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16 GB (2x8), 3000 MHz (77 €)
5. Power supply : Corsair VS650 650 W power supply (54 €)
6. SSD M.2 NVMe : Samsung 860 EVO M.2, 500 GB (€ 84)
7. SATA SSD : Kingston A400 SSD, 480 GB Solid State Drive (€ 49)

Spending only € 546 we will have an extremely powerful office PC, with an AMD CPU equipped with 6 physical cores and 12 virtual cores (managed by the operating system), 16 GB of RAM DD4 memory, a high performance 500 GB M.2 SSD (to be reserved for the operating system and programs) and a classic SSD with a 480 GB SATA cable (to be reserved for personal data). It is difficult to obtain a more powerful office PC at these figures, without forgetting that the AMD CPU also integrates a good video chip to run the 3D acceleration of the heavier programs.

Conclusions

With an expense that does not exceed 600 Euros, we can build 3 different PCs with carefully chosen, balanced and economic components but able to offer us so much power in all situations and with the certainty that it will not age immediately, given that the components chosen they should be sufficient for the next 3 years (if not more).
If we want to save even more, we invite you to read our guide to the components to buy to get a nice PC for 300 Euros . If instead we don't mind spending and want to build a very powerful PC by spending a lot of money, we recommend you read our article on What is the most powerful PC with the best hardware ever (that you can buy) .
If, on the other hand, we find it difficult to assemble our computer, we can get help from the steps described in the Guide to assemble a PC and assemble the pieces of the computer .
