If you dont know how to build a PC look at this guide on how to build a PC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bUghCx9iso
If you still dont want to build a PC yourself find a local PC repair shop and pay them to build it for you.

I wouldnt use alphacity unless I could physically walk into a shop .

www.pricespy.co.nz is your best place to compare prices

In Auckland Playtech and ComputerLounge are good

You are probably looking at

i5 4690K
Z97 chipset mb
2 x 4 gig of RAM
128 gig SSD, hard drive
maybe a GTX 970 [ if it fits the budget ]
500 - 600 watt psu
and a $100 case

Paradigm is very good if you live in a remote location . Shipping anywhere is included .
The too cheap stores like alphacity will charge 3 times as much as they should for shipping so they are not even cheap

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-745-OEM-vs-AMD-R9-380/2638vs3482 - the R9 380 is a lot better than the gtx745. And the i5 is more than enough to run it. Better case, power supply, SSD, motherboard and CPU cooler too.

Did you look at my build you can get GTX 970 for your budget
