    Sorry if thread is in wrong place, first post.

    I'm looking for advice on buying my first gaming pc for someone with little knowledge of specs & parts e.g. good places to buy, good balance in performance & price & any other important information. I live in South Dublin & have a budget of about 1000 euro. Sorry if I missed any questions, & thank you in advance
