    Thinking of building a new PC in the coming months, any thoughts on the type of hardware and where I can get a Windows 8 OS CD...?

    Budget = €500 +

    Purpose = messing around

    Need windows = possibly have Linux

    Old parts = possibly

    Need monitor = no

    Need peripherals = no

    Overclocking = no

    Visa/3v = payment

    Purchasing = 6 - 8 months

    Based in Wexford
