    Looking to buy a gaming PC, mainly for strategy games like Civilisation/Crusader Kings. It won't be used to play anything heavy duty. It will also be used for some photo editing. I'm not confident enough to build my own from scratch so I've been looking at some prebuilt ones.

    Choice One. €800

    https://www.harveynorman.ie/computing/desktop-computers/asus-rog-strix-gl10cs-core-i5-8gb-1tb.html

    Core i5-9400
    Ram 8 GB
    Graphics Card Model GeForce GTX 1050 2GD5


    Choice two is from a shop in Cork that build custom PCs

    €1100 Euro
    CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600, AM4, Zen 2, 6 Core, 12 Thread, 3.6GHz, 4.2GHz Turbo
    Cooler: AMD Ryzen Wraith Stealth
    MOBO: ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0
    GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SC BLACK GAMING 6GB GDDR6 Ray-Tracing Graphics Card
    SSD: 512GB Intel SSD 660p Series, M.2
    PSU: 600W Aerocool King, Fully Wired, 80PLUS Bronze
    Case: CiT Raider RGB, Black, Mid Tower PC Case, with Tempered Glass Windows
    OS: Windows 10
    Warranty: 12 Months

    I realise I will be paying extra for one that's already built but I'm fairly ok with that
