    1. What is your budget? €800 but could go to €900 if a bump is needed somewhere

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming & Video Editing. I'm hoping to be able to play pretty much every new game at a decent framerate (my monitor is only 1080p which helps) and also be capable of live streaming too. Not sure where a bump would be needed there?

    As for video I use the Adobe suite of apps so a video card with GPU accelleration would be preferred.

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? No

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? No

    5. Do you need a monitor? No

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?     1920x1080 27" and no plans to upgrade.

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? Wireless will need to be included

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Perhaps if it's needed

    8. How can you pay? Any method

    9. When are you purchasing? Perhaps 30 days time
