I'm about a month or so from getting my new PC and my budget has been upped from ~$650 USD to ~$850 USD, but i'm having some trouble coming up with parts for my pc. I live in Australia so i cant do rebates but i know all major online stores use US dollars. Thanks to anyone who helps :) :) (edit - i have a case that i brought a while back so its not needed + ill put my current hard drive in my new pc so i only need an SSD recommendation :))

Quick question, what will you be using it for? Gaming? Media? 3D rendering?

A build usually starts with the need. So what are your needs when it comes to a desktop?

And have you considered the price of the OS in this budget? Or do you have access to Windows in some other way? Cause you'll want to install Windows on the SSD, to fully enjoy the experience!
