Default In the market

Looking to get a new PC, gaming one, and my budget is:
€2200 which is USD$3015 which is GBP£1500
I'm living in the republic of Ireland and there is no custom gamer PC manufacturers here apart from Dell and their XPS gaming system which I'm not interested in. I've found two particularly good sites, an American one @Xicomputer and a UK based company www.wired2fire.co.uk
Is there any better ones out there I'm missing? The American one @Xicomputer involves the system being shipped a huge distance which is expensive and I'm also not really comfortable with that. And with wired2fire the Euro to Sterling conversion is pretty poor which means I'm not getting good value on the UK system. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,

Al

It's fairly simple, buy from a Ireland based company or pay the postage/currency conversion rate from elsewhere in the world.

Remember buying from outside IRE could incur import TAX and VAT so watch out.

OCUK(click) ship to Ireland and have very competitive prices for this part of the world, you will be able to build a great gaming PC from their site

Edit: but as stated above you will have to pay VAT

If it is only gaming purposes why do you so much money on a computer. Buy a XBOX or playstation and an affordable cheaper computer just for running other applications. It will save you money and power also.
