This is my first gaming pc. Its a Dell Optiplex 7010, so yeah its an oem but I added a new psu, gpu, fan, new cpu, ssd and another 4gb of ram I got the pc for 20 Euros, the gpu i got from a friend, the psu was around 50 Euros, the i5 3470 and the ram I found in a pc recycling shop so it was free and the ssd was another 20 euros, so about 90 to a 100 Euros The monitor I got from my uncle, the keyboard and mouse from another friend and the logitech headphones were around 40 Euros. If I didn't spell something correctly, Im sorry, Im not from an English speaking country

Congratulations on your first build effort. A lot of people just go with off the shelf. You put in the effort to make it yours.

Nicely done! A great place to start. Don't try to build the space shuttle on your first attempt to get off the ground. The Zalman cooler on the gpu is sweet.

I voted 7/10 because:

Considering your budget, you did a really good job!
That CPU packs quite a punch as long as you keep it on its limits, you could also swap it for a 4 cores 8 threads Xeon, no to mention a more recent GPU.
Good luck, mate!
