Hi guys.

Looking to get into pc gaming. And while I have done bits of research, I am still pretty clueless.
I would say my budget excluding any OS or peripherals would be about 1500 euro. Give or take a small bit. Ideally lower, just looking for a pc that will play the games I need quite well and will last a good while. Don't need crazy ott settings for everything. Living in Ireland.

The main type of games that I am looking at for the next few months at least would include Dragon Age, Shadow Of Mordor and The Witcher 3. The Witcher being a massive one for me. And I'd imagine if I could play something like that on good settings, I'd be pretty set for almost everything else. Not a huge shooter fan but not averse to them. Battlefield would be my main however. Love fantasy rpgs or Jrpgs mainly. And some adventure games. Prefer single player games for the most part. Big retro gamer too if that makes any difference.

If one could get something to fit my demands around the 1k mark give or take, excluding peripherals and such, that would be amazing. But I'd rather go all out than half ass the job if that makes any sense.

With regards to aesthetics and things like cases, I really couldn't care less how it looks. As long as it does its job I'm happy.

Outside of games, I would only really use the pc for basic tasks, internet and word and such.

Appreciate any sort of help hugely. As you can see, I'm pretty useless on my own.
Thanks.
