    Nope.

    Build it yourself. A rewarding experience, and you can purchase top quality parts and get a better rig for less money :) Fill in the questionnaire for us in the sticky in this forum and post here.

    Not really good value to be honest. Iv built a PC for about the same price that is easily twice as good as that. As said above fill in the questionaire in this forum and somebody will recommend a build for your budget. Also specify what type of games you wish to play.

    Same build from another post would be ideal for you as well. An i3 might outperform the 6300 a little in sc2 because it only uses 2 cores but newer games are using more cores where the 6300 has the advantage. It can also be overclocked so that it's per core performance is greater than the i3's.

    BTW Leinster PC used to have a shop on Adverts.ie under the name HappyPC

    Their shop was suspended for selling pirate software.

    They offer Windows 7 Ultimate for €65 and will only install it onto a hard drive, no disc, serial or any document of authenticity. A real copy will cost €165 so there is no way a small shop could offer it for €100 less.
    They will also install Adobe CS6 Master collection, AutoCad, Solid Works, Nero, etc.. all illegal copies. Dodgy crowd :(
