Budget gaming NZ

darkoverlord123 · May 3, 2013

Can someone please help me, I need a gaming system for absolutely max $1100 NZD, although I would prefer around $1000. I was thinking maybe an AMD FX series and a Gigabyte 650 Ti OC 2GB, with 8GB RAM. Thanks!

Are you trying to spend $1000 max or would you prefer it to be slightly cheaper than your limit?

This was the best I could do to fit your budget, with NZ prices so high compared to U.S. I also made sure to pick parts from New Zealand as well since I don't know if you plan to order from US based sellers.

Thanks! I really appreciate that! But will a GTX 650 Ti OC 2GB Be fine?

Well if it's the regular 650 ti, it won't perform as well as the 7850 I recommended. It is a bit more inexpensive though and it isn't a bad card. The 650 ti boost , is Nvidia's card that competes against the 7850.

That same case is on newegg for half the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018&Tpk=Corsair%20200R&IsVirtualParent=1

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088 $95 Better efficiency and more wattage.
Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088 $58 for 1 stick.
Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204 $20
Good day

He's from New Zealand...that's why the prices are jacked, shipping costs would kill him probably worse
