    to the building and upgrading sub forum for you!

    start a thread there, list what you have and what you need, monitor, windows, etc and we can help you build it yourself!

    I agree, its not as difficult as it sounds. You'll get much more pc for your money, and learn a lot about it.
    What type of games did you have in mind? Also, do you need a monitor and keyboard etc included in this price or do you already have these?

    Hi Guys I dont want to build one I want to buy it off the shelf, I have a monitor, my other PC has died and cant be repaired, the only games are what my son uses such as flying etc.

    They could pick the parts for you in building and upgrading and if you where to buy from hardwareversand.de they'll put it together for you.

    Or you could buy off the likes of Komplett.ie

    If you didn't want to play games you could get any old PC, most are pretty decent at doing the basics.

    As you want to play games you'll need to get a decent graphics card and they can be an overlooked part of off the shelf pre-built PCs. That's why people that want a gaming PC tend to build so they can get the best graphics card available at the time.

    You will get much more bang for your buck if you can pick the parts and companies will build them for you.
