    Like the title suggests after many years of not being able to appreciate how much better PC gaming can potentially be compared to console gaming Id like to build a decent entry level gaming PC that I can upgrade in the future if needs be. I have some equipment that I can take from the xbox which should keep cost down a little. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated bearing in mind Im a noob.

    1. What is your budget? €500-650

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming - battlefield 3, WarZ, Skyrim etc

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? yes

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

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? ViewSonic VX2239WM 22" 1920 x 1080 Full HD LCD TFT with 2MS VGA DVI-D HDMI Monitor. I dont plan to upgrade

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? I need a keyboard and mouse. Im not sure about a wireless card or card reader? I have speakers in the form of turtle beach x12 headphones and mic.

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes

    8. How can you pay? Laser, Bank transfer, Credit card

    9. When are you purchasing? Next month or 2

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Dublin city but I'd like to try build it myself before I admit defeat.
