    Your budget is right in the range where all the good stuff is but none of it is available. Can you wait or does it have to be before Xmas?

    What resolution / refresh are you targeting. For example a basic enough TV would be 1080p/60Hz.

    Hey Samuel, thanks for the reply!
    I can wait, I have sen that the new pieces are all out of stock.
    ideally I would like 1080p at 144hz as I have the monitor for it.

    hopefully everything has settled with parts shortages,
    anyone got any recommendations?

    Haven't settled, and I think it will take at least 2-3 month more to normalise. Depending on your monitor (size and resolution - is it previously advised 1080p 144hz or something changed on the way?) and games you'd like to play, we may advise, whether it's better to wait or you can buy now as not all parts are in the same bad situation. The good news is that Brexit most likely (once approved) will be with a deal. That means less pressure on the PC part buyers in Ireland - we may continue buy from the UK without any tariffs. Otherwise, this wouls have increased expenses.
