Hi guys,

Looking to build a budget gaming PC around ~$1200AU -

This will be just for the PC itself. NO monitor included, NO Operating System, Just parts.

I am looking to play games such as World of Warcraft / Final Fantasy XIV on max settings, and Battlefield 4 / Call of Duty: Ghosts on high to max settings.

NO SSD Required, just a regular hard drive is fine, 2TB preferred. I am mainly having trouble with CPU / Mobo combos at this price range however I am NOT overclocking. I am not fussed on whether it should be AMD / Intel, whatever you think will get me better performance for the $.

I will be ordering this PC within the coming week, I have been planning to spend alot more on a PC but I have been set back with recent probems that have happened in my life and my funds have been reduced considerably. So if people could please help out here

Thanks all.

Thanks realchaos that looks great! I hadn't even thought of the r9 280x as an option in this new build. That should work great. If anyone else has any inputs they like to put forward I would really appreciate it.
