So I'm looking to put together my first gaming PC, I know a little bit about what I want but certainly not enough to find the right parts. So a few things you should know:
Expected date of purchase: Within the next month
Budget: $2000AUD - this is to be inclusive of the complete tower, postage and taxes etc, as well as a mouse and keyboard (no monitor required)
Location: Western Australia
Would also like to have an Intel i7 CPU, 8GB RAM
Main uses (most to least important): Gaming - at least be able to maintain 60fps on fullHD. Video streaming, light video editing, school work, general browsing.

Help is greatly appreciated. I want the best possible PC I can for my $2000AUD, thank you!

This took a while. :)

I did kinda go over budget, but I wanted to have a matching GPU for the i7. (Blame the US exchange rate)

There also a local store that I recommend you to visit because most of the things they sell are more cheaper.
