Hello, I am stationed in Germany and am trying to build a pc, I was planning on importing parts from the us, but then I found out that it would be way too expensive, so here is my revised build from amazon.de. Please let me know if it looks alright or if I need to get a psu with more watts, or if I can cut costs or improve performance with very little extra cost. Thanks.

Not bad, you could always spend 30 euros more for a GTX 660, but a 7850 isn't bad.

Looks fine altho I would advise avoid cards made by Sapphire, I've always had problems with those.

Pay 10 euro more and choose a better manufacturer.

Sapphire is good man... but there's a lot of good brands. It's hard to go wrong with most of them.

mmhmm the only real dilema's is maybe diamond multimedia which for the longest time had no RMA or warranty. as a result buying one was rather toxic. idkaboot naow tho
