My advice would be to get one of your mates round who has done this successfully before, and get him to do the job for you while you watch, and take note... Wink

It will save you a lot of frustration, and expense, etc...!
...and you can supply the beer...

Cheers...!

Ahh yes I do rember my first build. As this is your first time I would go with tried and true products and not ones that might give you some truble. also 450 euros isnt alot to work with at all. I dont even think ive built anything decent for 450 USD (exchange currently is 1.5E to every 1USD) so shop around, but I would save up alot more and increase your budget. Also if we discourage you too much you could go to www.ibuypower.com or www.cyberpowerinc.com for a hand built machine that will look hand built, however it has all of the finerys of being made by a professional.
