Hi Gentlemen,

Ive been having a few problems putting parts together for my first gaming PC. I have a budget of AUD$2000 (not including shipping,insurance) and really need help. I would like this Gaming PC to run games like GTA V,Arma 2,Dayz,Battlefield 4 at 60 fps & above on ultra.

I will need to purchase all parts from Graphics cards to monitors,keyboards since I have never owned a gaming PC before. I will not be needing speakers or earphones since I have my own.

Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP

Budget Range: AUD $2000-2100. (not including shipping/insurance)

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming. Games like ArmA II & III, DayZ SA, GTA V, BF 4.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes (monitor must be included in the budge)

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index

Location: City, State/Region, Country - Sydney,NSW Australia.

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes



Must have a SSD for the operating system & a 1TB HDD for games.

Thanks,
