    Hi, definitely self build. Nothing wrong with buying second hand either, but that PC is worth about €200, if even - it's 8 years old and wouldn't be able to play any new games at all. If you don't want to build, €700 would also buy you a very nice pre-built new machine with warranty.

    Hi, that is also incredibly low spec, there is no way it would be able to play any new games even at the lowest possible settings. Something like http://www.laptopsdirect.ie/stormforce-tornado-core-i3-6100-8gb-1tb-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-dvd-rw-windows-7280-5310/version.asp is well within budget and gives you a bit to buy a screen to go with it, all the latest games would run at high-ultra just fine.

    That last one you posted wouldn't run the latest games even at the lowest possible settings. It would be OK for Minecraft and maybe a bit of FIFA but not much else.
