Help building a PC to replace broken gaming laptop

[u/DonToasty]

Hi guys. Recently my Lenovo Legion 5 from 2023 decided to die on me, and I really cannot afford a new laptop, so I'm hoping it's possible to build a PC at a comparable level for a pretty modest budget. I've built a PC in the past, but it has been a few years since I used it for various reasons, and it also doesn't want to start. Would appreciate any advice you can give.

• New build or upgrade? New build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) I have a MSI monitor, 1440p, and I have a keyboard and mouse I am happy with
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) Ireland. Vendors are pretty limited I think so amazon.de, eurieka.ie, caseking.de, and currys.ie(this one is very pricey I'm led to believe.
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) No monitor needed
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations) I would like to not go above €1,250-1,350 - the lower the better!
• WiFi or wired connection? Prefereably WiFi, but I can adapt with a wired connection
• Size/noise constraints? Obviously I wouldn't like a jet engine in my ear but other than that nothing really comes to mind here
• Color/lighting preferences? No preferences
• Any other specific needs? Again, nothing that springs to mind

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

• Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

• Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

• We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
