    Need help lads, me Da is looking for a pc.
    Finally convinced him to let me build it for him ( could always use the practice) he wanted to buy it off currys but I told him this way is cheaper and better bang for buck.

    Anyhow budget is small as he only plays certain games which are not very demanding

    1. What is your budget? 600, it can be stretched if needed

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? gaming, CSS, TOTAL WAR SERIES, all on max settings if possible as I know their not demanding. Also for general office work so MS office is needed

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes/No] Yes please

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? Nope, new computer

    5. Do you need a monitor? Yes

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. 20-23inch preferribly a 1080p

    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 pick up signal thing, dvd drive? does not have to be blue ray

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No] Nope he won't

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

    9. When are you purchasing? [In x days] within a week

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [South Dublin City/Cork City/Kerry/etc.] I am going to build it


    Really appreciate any build lads, like I said its a mix between gaming and office work so it does not need to be the most demanding pc, just once it can run total war and css as he loves them :P

    cheers lads

    That's tight enough considering a monitor and windows etc.

    For a start windows I'd recommend looking on reddit. Get a ligit key for 15 Euro.

    Shop at hardwareversand.de Get familiar with geizhals.de discount. Will look up when less tipsy.

    How's this for starters? Not run through Geizhals, so you could probably save another ~€50 there as well. Hopefully haven't missed anything.
