    1. What is your budget? €800

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming mostly, and a bit of photoshop.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes, I plan on getting a cd code from the software swapping subreddit to make it a lot cheaper though.

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No, first build

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes

    5a. If yes, what size do you need? Not sure what size, doesn't need to be massive but I'd like it to be 1920x1080 at least.

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? Plan to add another monitor of the same size when I have some extra money.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Have a keyboard and mouse that I've been using with my laptop. Wouldn't mind upgrading my mouse, it's started falling apart the last few months but that can wait.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No.

    8. How can you pay? Visa Debit Card/Paypal

    9. When are you purchasing? Hopefully within the next fortnight

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I'm in Wicklow, and if there's anyone willing I wouldn't mind help with it.

    I've finally got the money together to build a gaming pc, just want it to be able to run newer games well, if possible on high settings. I may not be able to reply quickly as my laptops on the fritz at the moment.

    What settings would i be able to run GTA 5 (and similar games) on with this build and expect to get 60fps, also I'll need a card reader which I forgot to mention when I was making the post as I'm so used to them being built into anything I've used. And when all of the stuff arrives will it be ready to piece together or am I going to need to buy cables and stuff. Sorry for the silly questions, only had 2 laptops in the past and they were both around 6 years old when I got them at the time.
