Good morning,

I bought my first PC from here 3 years ago with all your help. Now, I am buying one as a gift to my sister. She mainly plays CS2 and RB6, but I want to make sure she has the option for better games too. This is also being shipped to Lithuania, does anyone have any experience with shipping to EU, when proceeding with the order I am still being charged VAT, but thought this would have to be done in the country it is being shipped to, Any advise on the built and EU shipping is appreciated.

No idea about EU shipping, sadly, but could you answer these questions to help us spec an appropriate system:

  1. What will it be used for? Mainly gaming?
  2. What monitor will she be using?
  3. What's the budget?

We love you Ukraine
With regards to ordering to Lithuania, I don’t believe PCS are VAT registered in Lithuania, but Best to call them to put the order through

Hi, yes sorry.

1. Mainly just playing CS2 and Rainbow six and perhaps other games as her old pc isn’t capable.
2. She has a decent monitor 140mhz, but would potentially be upgraded to a better 240 if it’s worth it of course.
3. Ideally around £800 without Vat.

Just as important as monitor refresh rate is the resolution. Though at this price it had better be 1080p, because that's all you can reasonably get!

Depends on the monitor. You have to match the one to the other.

I can get another monitor, not an issue as it will probably need upgrading soon enough. Currently it’s

AOC AGON 27 Inch Full HD Gaming Monitor 165hz, 1920x 1080 full HD​

Hello, while you wait for @sck451's suggestion, I'll share mine, even though I'd suggest waiting a week for the new Ryzen 9000 CPUs to be released. Anything less than that is, in my opinion, a waste of money.
