When i say personal use, i mean using it like a normal pc as well as for gaming. Like i said in my post, i don't have the best knowledge about this so apologies if i sound confusing here. I just want to get an opinion on whether this is good setup or not.

Sorry, what do you mean by “normal pc”, what packages are you referring to?

PCs have thousands of different configurations, they Taylor to the use case, so if you can be specific about your useage?

Basically if you are using it for things like Microsoft Word / office documents / Excel etc - its a lot different than just using it to browse the internet.

Honestly I think we're going down a rabbit hole here. Any decent gaming PC will be able to handle almost any "regular PC" task without blinking.

I'd go for a very different and much superior system like this one below. It includes a monitor I hesitate to recommend. I would actually try to get hold of something better, but I have no idea where to recommend in the Irish market, or what prices would be like. I'd prefer something 1440p, 144Hz or better, and with an IPS panel. This one is those things but has an inferior VA panel. It's fine, but not as good, but sadly PCS doesn't have anything more appropriate in stock.

Here's the build I'd suggest. It's way more powerful and a very solid build for years to come, with upgrades also easily possible.
