    I just wanted to ask where any of you would recommend ordering parts for a gaming PC I'm going to be building. I live in Ireland.

    hardwareversand or overclockers.co.uk would be the most common.

    Personally I recommend overclockers, a bit more expensive but fantastic service and very very quick.

    If you want value, hardwareversand
    If you want good after sales support, Amazon or overclockers
    If you want it now, dabs

    Most use HWVS as its cheap and while they're slow, you can get your issues sorted eventually. On the off chance you have any in the first place

    If you want it now, Elara. If you can wait a week or so, Hardwareversand.de

    Oh, and hardwareversand will give you a LOT more bang for your buck.

    Not so fast!

    Make sure you run your parts through the website geizhals for a further 8-10% off hardware's prices, so click on hardwareversand and set an account up, then use the other site to add items to your hardwareversand basket at a cheaper price.

    Do you want to fill out the form or have someone review your build?

    It's for people who don't have any parts chosen and want someone here to give them a parts list, you won't need it if you've got one already

    1. What is your budget?

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer?

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows?

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

    5. Do you need a monitor?

    5a. If yes, what size do you need.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Card Reader/Speakers/etc.]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking?

    8. How can you pay?

    9. When are you purchasing?

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based?

    Gives everyone an idea of budget and specs you're looking etc
