    Hi lads hows eh going
    recently came into some spare money
    and my pc is quite old, it runs some games but not recent ones and most games arnt played on even medium

    basicly im looking for a new pc
    which has high end stuff so it wont need upgrading for at least another year or 2
    also it has to be between a range of 300-700e im probably asking to much here but
    i dont want any custom built pc i would prefer a pc picked from this website which would hopefully have everything built into it already that is needed for a good gaming pc

    http://www.littlewoodsireland.ie/electricals/desktop-pcs/e/b/4877.end

    yes i know their dear in price but can anyone tell me if they have any good pcs that can run current games on ultra high settings? i dont know much about pcs so i need the help

    thanks guys appreciate it

    You are not going to get an off the shelf PC for €700 anywhere that can play the latest games at anywhere near high settings. You are better off giving €700 to someone who will pick all the parts and put it together for you. Otherwise you are wasting your time and money.

    The best PC on that site for €700 does not even have a dedicated graphics card in it, no hope of playing anything above low to medium settings on games released a year ago even.

    it has to be between a range of 300-700e... can run current games on ultra high settings... i would prefer a pc picked from this website

    If really you want something that "can run current games on ultra high settings", you'll be looking at the top end of your budget, if you build it yourself and that would be without peripherals such as a monitor.

    On the Littlewood page you have linked, I see two Core i5 computer (one within your budget) but neither seem to have a dedicated graphics card. And Zoostorm I wouldn't touch with a 12 ft bargepole.
