    Hi guys, so finally I'm going to get a gamer computer again, however I'm not experienced enough to build one myself, and I want it within 2 weeks - I moved to Dublin 2 months ago, so I don't really know about places where you can configure gaming computers in Dublin area, only Komplett.ie I've seen so far, so do you guys know of any good websites where you can order a computer that's built and you can configure without being too overpriced?

    Cheers :)

    I know, I've heard that one many times, but I'd rather just get it sent and I can start it up and everything works :P

    I used PCspecialist.co.uk based on recommendations here, and I'd also recommend them. Good site, easy to configure your build, lots of flexibility.

    They keep you updated on status of order as it's built, tested and shipped. Mine took the guts of two weeks from ordering to be delivered, but that was right before christmas.

    Still though, if you aren´t comfortable doing it , I wouldn't , I f*cked up a CPU install and I followed the instructions perfectly, think I pressed the processor down too hard ...

    Thank you, looking at their site now, seems pretty good. Unsure if I should go with AMD or Intel, I've had AMD before which was pretty good, and it's probably fine for CS:GO and stuff like that (maybe BF4 and newer FPS games later on though). Hmm :P

    Intel all the way.
