    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [Gaming/Video editing/3D Modelling/HTPC/Internet] (If gaming include which games)

    Gaming - PUBG, DCS, ARMA III

    No, but need some advice on which version to buy

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [Hard drive/DVD Drive/Case/PSU/etc.] (If possible state brand and model of the parts to ensure compatibility)

    Yes, perhaps a 34” 21:9 ultra wide of some sort, not sure

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.] 34”

    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.]

    need keyboard

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes/No]

    No

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

    Bank Transfer, Credit card, Debit card, Paypal, Bitcoin
    Prefer credit card due the insurance provided

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

    soonest would be early february, latest march 31th

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

    Not sure if i’ll need help, but I’m in Clare.


    I’m moving into a new house, will have lots of space, building a man cave.

    I will need a desk and chair,
    looking at a IKEA
    https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/products/desks/office-desks/bekant-corner-desk-left-oak-veneer-black-spr-99006404/
    Considering same version desk above in sit/stand, but probably gimmcky will never use

    Cant find a chair I like, want a high back, with head rest, straight arm rests, office chair, dont want one of those gaming seats


    Might take 6 months to get into DCS so its not a priority, and will exclude from this the needed hardware for playing DCS, stick, throttle, pedals, trackIR, might also consider Ocullus

    I might also want to record electric guitar sometime in the future but its not a priority
