    Hey Folks,

    I've decided to get back into a bit of gaming. I've been out of the scene for a few years and my knowledge of the hardware available isn't great.
    So, basically what i'm looking for is a pc that can run warzone with 100 fps+........if possible.
    My budget is around the €1k mark, i've already got the peripherals so the money is going straight into the tower.
    Is it even possible to run warzone with that fps for that budget?

    Any help with be great :)

    Honestly... Its a bad time to build at the moment. Components are hard to come by. GPUs in particular are going for crazy prices (even last gen). If you are trying to build anything on a budget, you might be better off waiting a few months to see if things settle down

    Oh really? Have the prices just gone up since covid?
    I'm in two minds if i should build or to just buy a built system.
    I don't want to mention any websites but i seen some nice systems on an Irish page that sells parts and built systems, but again im out of the loop for a good few years so im not sure what exactly i would be buying.

    Always better off building your own, will work out cheaper :)

    Prebuilt pc is normally a poor quality with cheap parta and no parts for future upgrades. Basically, the waste of money for 3, max 5 years while custom pc can be upgraded few times and may last from 5 years to somewhere of 10 years.

    Its a combination of things I think. People being at home and having more money to spend (so wanting to build new computers). New releases by both Nvidia and AMD that have been really hard to get hold off since launch. Crypto mining becoming profitable again. Add in Brexit woes (meaning you really have to purchase from Europe) and it just means its a painful time. It can be done (just did it myself) but on a strict budget it will be tough

    Its still better to build yourself if you can but might just need to bide your time and keep an eye our for bargains
