    Hi guys, I wanted to post this on boards.ie because similar posts were on American sites (i.e with links to other American sites with shipping only to America) and I needed an Irish opinion :) .
    So I know many of you will be aware about the upcoming game Guild Wars 2 and I was needing a new computer for it, although I'm on a very low budget of around €500 sadly that will be including an OS and a monitor. I don't need it to work flawlessly on Ultra graphics but something around the medium mark would work. Also, I don't need a really good monitor, just something to do the job.
    Apologies if I format this incorrectly, I'm new here :)
    Thanks in advance
