    Hi

    I want to buy a gaming PC and would appreciate a recommendation on a good spec for a gaming PC under €900?

    Many Thanks

    are you talking about one from a bricks and mortar shop, the internet or building one yourself?
    if you are talking about a shop then you are going to pay over the odds for it and most likely your best bet would be Dell but as i say you can get more with your money
    if you are looking for a pre-built pc or or are looking to build it yourself i would check this forum first and ask your questions there as they are all very helpful

    Have a look at the building and upgrading forum next door. There is a great thread on budget builds.

    I don't have the skills to build my own, is there any Irish based companies who would do a build for a gaming PC or am I best served to get a good spec from someone like Dell?

    Don't put Dell and good spec in the same sentence /shudder.

    A german site, hardwareversand.de, is popular in Building and Upgrading. They'll even assemble it for you for €10. Also putting it together is not hard, it's just like Lego!

    Yes you do anybody can. :) A self build with a 900 euro budget will get you a much better PC than any overpriced Alienware(Dell) or similar. Also there are a load of success stories on the B&U forum from the german site 5suspect mentioned below.
