Gaming Desktop? Not too expensive!

    I am looking at buying myself a gaming desktop but I'm not really sure what to get. I want 8 - 12 gb ram and a GFX card with at least 1GB of memory. Not concerned about Hard drive space or monitors/keyboards/mice/etc. Budget is up to €700 and I live in Ireland. I've seen loads of low prices on decent looking computers in the USA but Ireland is a bit more expensive :( Any suggestions regarding where to buy, other specs, etc? Thanks!

    Go to the building and upgrading forum - fill out the form - build it yourself - laugh at your friends who spent twice what you did and got a pile of crap.

    Thanks a million! I just did that! I know a guy who just spent €1,500 on an Alienware laptop XD Really wanna shove it in his face for spending €1,000 on a light up keyboard!
