    Hi all,
    Looking for advice/thought ect


    1. What is your budget?     €1000-€1200

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? It will be a general all purpose PC, A little bit of everything, gaming,video/photo-playing/editing, most likely nothing to intensive(gaming will be minimal but would like the ability to play decent games at a reasonable setting

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? Yes

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No, no parts available, my laptop is dying a death after a good life :) I need everything :D

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.]
    24"
    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?     [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] [Yes/No]

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.] would like to get everything while i'm at it..

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No] Yes, maybe not right away, but down the line , yes..

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer/Credit Card/Laser] Debit card/bank transfer

    9. When are you purchasing? ASAP to be honest, would like to order parts within the week..

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [South Dublin City/Cork City/Kerry/etc.] Galway city

    Hope the above came out alright... So, a few key points..

    Spec- Pc won't be an out and out gaming PC playing games at the very highest settings 24/7 ect. I just want a decent spec PC for the right money:)

    Budget- would like this to be as high as I go, but if something requires a little extra for a lot more gains(bang for back) I'm open to more money being spent... And, on the other hand, if i'm spending money needlessly, i'm more than happy to cut the budget :)

    Experience- I'm not very tech savvy, but at the same time, i'm not afraid to try. This will be my first build, is it fairly simple, plug and play?? I? know it might not be as simple as plug and play, just asking am I mad to attempt it with such little knowledge?? Seems fairly doable on youtube :D

    Time frame- I would like to get the ball moving ASAP. How long a timeframe would be expected from order time to fully assembled ... Would 2 weeks be doable?? Not overly important but would be nice not to be waiting longer :)

    Any questions just ask, I'm sure I've forgotten something at this late hour :)
