    Hi, I'm going to build a PC in the coming weeks but I'm not the best person at figuring out the best parts.

    I'm looking to play games like GTA/Skyrim and Project cars.

    1. What is your budget? €1000

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? Gaming

    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

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [n/a]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? 42 inch 1080P TV, No

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? No

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? Yes, but I doubt I'll have to

    8. How can you pay? Bank Transfer/Credit Card

    9. When are you purchasing? In the next fortnight

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? Laois

    Any help would be great,
    Thanks in advance
