[IRL] - ~€750 build for everyday use and light gaming.
As the title says, I'm looking to build a nice desktop to use for the basics, mainly internet, college work and a small bit of gaming. I've done some research myself, but this being my first build I'd definitely like some input from some people with some experience.
I'm finding it frustrating to live in Ireland from a components point of view, as I don't have access to to any of the amazing American websites. Instead I have to rely mostly on UK websites where I'll have to pay extra shipping charges and can't find things as cheap as I'd like.
With respect to the specs, I'd really like some input into what kind of CPU, GPU and MOBO I'd want. Ideally I'd like to be able to use this for my basic day-to-day stuff, while still being able to play some games on it (Civ5, CS:S/GO, ect.) with decent graphics/fps.
Also, if you could tell me how suitable some of these parts are too, that'd be great!

The budget isn't set in stone, but I'd ideally like to get it done as cheap as possible. I don't need an OS, monitor, keyboard or mouse, but I will need everything else. Thanks for reading this far, and any input at all would be hugely appreciated! If you've any questions or I've left anything out, just let me know.
