Have to do my Xmas shopping on-line this year but I've hit a brick wall. Son wants a gaming PC and I must have read every blog, website etc advising what to buy. Its all gobbidly gook and gone right over my head. Can anyone explain, in plain English, what is the basic optimum requirement needed.
My son has shown me a second hand one on done deal but I'm cautious about buying used electronics.
Last place I thought I'd be seeking advice but I'm desperate now  |

. . My nephews used to buy and trade in used games at Gamestop. . I'm not sure if they sell used consoles etc but would avoid done deal unless very cheap and maybe worth the gamble. .  |

Gamestop don't do personal computers or laptops to my knowledge. I wouldn't go near them anyways. Overpriced and hard to get refunds out of. Look up electronic exchange Ireland and show your son what's on offer |

Alienware are a gaming hardware company backed by Dell, pricey but all the best equipment. Some local IT companies would build you one and give you entry level specs. Probably best spending as much as you can afford though because they move forward very quickly and can become obsolete very rapidly. Can give more advise if needed, pm away |
