Approximate purchase date: later today

Budget Range: around 2k, but I will be buying locally (my mom doesnt trust me with it entirely, but she is paying them to supervise me building it) so expect a small markup. (Aus)

System Usage from Most: gaming, school work, internet browsing, basic video editing, movies

Are you buying a monitor: Yes


Do you need to buy OS: Yes, windows 7

Location: Australia

Parts Preferences: prefer intel/amd processor/gpu , as it is what I have had all my life, but happy to change either.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Don't mind

Your Monitor Resolution: 1080p with an old secondary, if we can fit a 1440p in somehow I would like that

Additional Comments: I need everything, keyboard, mouse, monitor, no mic, Os etc.
Would like a ssd.
Playing lots of games, only intensive ones are Bioshock infinite, Just Cause 2, and far cry 3.

if you want to go with 3x1080p displays, the 850w psu gives you the option to run a second gpu


would order the parts, buying localy might cost more
