This build is for my brother ive done quite alot with custom builds but mainly for servers and high end i haven't done much with low end/small budgets. Anyway this Build will be used mainly for gaming and a browsing the internet nothing to special. My budget range is $1000 with $50 leverage to being extra but anything 1k and under is great. The budget also includes the moniter, the mouse and a keyboard(if you can get a headset also). operating system is not needed i have a copy of win8 for him. Preferably if you can get australian prices from like msy.com but i can ship from america if needed depending on the shipping cost. Depending on how much performance overclocking a system like this will get me i dont think i may be doing it but i dont want a stock cooler. I wont be doing any SLI or Crossfire either ATM but if you can get parts that are 2-way. (sidenotes: if you can please stick to a red/black colour pallet)
