Here's the situation: I'm moving in a few days, which means I'll have to get myself a new desktop in a relatively short amount of time. Since a lot of my day-to-day activities revolve around it, I decided to invest in it a bit.

Now I've seen a decent pre-built pc in stores, but it's still far from ideal. I've looked into building a pc myself, but I'm rather inexperienced when it comes to this. It's hard navigating all those parts and getting a good idea of what's needed and what's decent.

So I could really use some help. I was hoping to get some opinions and suggestions here

As far as general information goes: I'm located in the Netherlands, and my budget is €1500. This is somewhat flexible, though. I'm not stuck to any specific brands. Suggestions for a good set of speakers, a good monitor or a good keyboard are also very welcome. I also need a trackball, but I've got a good idea about that. Finally, I need Windows XP, as my games span 25 years.
