I intend to buy a PC. My old laptop is not as powerful as it used to be. Even after I've sorted out all the unnecessary data, it's not quite up to par, which makes the work a bit more challenging.
I also plan to play Steam games like Guild Wars 2 or Eve Online on my future PC.
I have so far informed only a bit of technical pricing what a normal or gaming PC costs, but can't assess what I really need in the end. Although I know that I can use a PC with good computing power and graphics card to gamble. However, there's a lot of room for improvement and I do not want to spend too much money unnecessarily.
Can someone help me?
What do you want to play?
Every game on highest graphics? (2 / 4K)
Play every game on medium-high settings?
Almost anything can play, but with some compromises?
Hardly computationally play games, such as CsGo? (I know that Csgo does not have great requirements but very low)
In terms of performance is a very cheap pc if you want to play only so old games. Like this one

But then you have to assemble it yourself. For current demanding games but is rather nothing, there must be a 500 euro pc or upwards
Middle-high graphics are enough for me already. It should only be able to run smoothly.
I will not play too demanding new games as I will have the most on my PS4. As I said, Eve Online and Guild Wars 2 are already the main target and they are demanding enough.
I would spend max. 500 euro. Watch on YouTube for 500 euro PC mindfactory and choose accordingly the parts that are shown in the video. As far as assembling is concerned, either have it assembled (~ 40 euro) or lend a hand, or ask a colleague known questions that has attached.
Then I would recommend you a PC between 700 and 900. Can you look it up on hardwarerat.de or hardwaredealz.de. There are very nice configurations. As a PC shop I can still recommend Dubaro!
