Building my first computer

fizzypizzy · Jul 27, 2014

So my computer has gone to shit and i am looking to buy a gaming pc with a budget around $700
if you could use this link http://au.pcpartpicker.com/

as it takes you to the Australian store. it would be nice if you could make the cost of the gaming build around $700 and i would like it to be able to run games such as wow, league of legends dayz etc.

i already have operating system peripherals and hard drive

thank you

Just use this as a platform...
All the parts they picked are excellent for their price

Damn, parts are expensive up there. Here is what I came up with. It will be running most/all games at high/ultra settings. It is $17 over budget, but to cut back $17 you would lose quite a bit of performance.

This computer won't even boot with that motherboard as it needs a BIOS update to even recognize that CPU.

The PSU in that build is a bomb waiting to go off. As bad quality as it gets and will likely fry the system. The system itself is not balanced well at all either. Please do not recommend this.
