Buying a New Gaming PC Advice

    I'm looking to get a new gaming PC basically.

    This is what I'm at currently. Its the second one for Alienware X51 €968.99. I cant post the URL but if you google alienware ireland you'll see it.

    Now bear in my mind what I'm buying/building my PC, I'm getting a mid range graphics card and going to upgrade every two years thats how I want to do it.

    So what I'm looking to buy is something with good RAM, CPU and harddrive. That I wont have to touch for a least 4years. The GPU I'm after NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 750Ti 2GB GDDR5 around that ballpark is fine.

    Does anyone know where I could get a gaming PC For around 900euro NO HIGHER. I'm willing to build my own aswell but would like both options. So links to websites would be great.

    Thanks guys :)

    You can build an animal for €900

    i5 4460 €185
    8gb RAM €50
    1tb HDD €55
    250gb SSD €90
    Case €70
    H97 motherboard €90
    500w PSU €60
    R9 280X or Second hand R9 290 €230
    Recommend the 290 if you can find one, serious upgrade.
    Total is €830, left €40 for a windows key and €30 for delivery.

    Amazon is probably good to buy from.
    Everything aside from the GPU will last at least 3-4 years if not more.

    With a 290 this'll game at Ultra Settings 1080p 60fps for almost every game, now and the next few months.

    Any questions ask away
