Hi guys, I'm Jack from Syd, NSW and i'm posting on this forum for advice on computer parts for a new gaming desktop computer. I am a typical gamer and my budget is $1000.

My old and current pc is a Laptop Toshiba Satellite L50t-A, where I only play LoL, Dota because the specifications of the latop is crap but I want to upgrade to a new computer that will let me play Battlefield, COD, WoW on pretty good graphics, say (ultra mode) and possibly allow me to upgrade for future graphics etc.

The computer will also be used for general use and I'm hoping to partition the hard drive with Mac (just to learn the basic Mac applications)

I don't have any parts at the moment, so I think the budget may not be consistent.
If the prices are a bit above $1000, I think that should be fine.

Looking forward to hear,
Any comments with set lists and locations to buy is muchly appreciated.

Do you need a monitor or anything else apart from the computer tower?
Please tell me what you need besides your computer tower
