    My brother wants to get a gaming PC, but says the only people who sell to Ireland are massively overpriced, on both pre-made PCs and the parts to build them yourselves. Is he right, if not, what should I recommend to him? He'd prefer a premade one even if it's a bit more expensive. Neither of us are very handy........
