Hey guys,
please ignore how untech savvy I am, I'm here to get some assistance because I don't really want to make a mistake when spending a fair bit of money I've saved on a computer that can't run the games I want to play. I will not be able to build my own pc so I feel like I have to buy a prebuilt one unless someone can point me Inthe right direction. All assistance will be appreciated!!

I want to able to play games like rust, dayz, Arma 3, battlefield 1, and some newer multiplayer games. I'm not looking for a pc that plays these games on ultra settings and I get like 100 fps, I want to be able to play them on reasonable settings that don't make the game too ugly but I'm still able to get decent fps that won't effect my gaming.
Im not going to be using the computer for recording or making music, streaming ect, just mainly gaming and searching the web.
I don't really want too spend too much over $1000 if I do have to go that high (including monitor) but if I have too I will.
Like I said earlier, I don't want to be buying all parts seperately as I am not sure how to build a pc, so if you could point me the way to a prebuilt pc or atleast a site where I build a pc and you tell me what parts I need. I'm im Sydney Australia aswel if that helps with anything.
All help will be very appreciated!! I'm sorry for being such a hassle but like I said I feel like I need some help.
If someone is able to help me find my pc and stuff I'd be happy enough to gift them a game or something like that if they would like
Thanks, Ryan.

firstly, i would definitely try and make your own PC.
there are plenty of tutorials on youtube. it is not too hard. you can go step by step. if you buy one pre made it will cost a lot more so you lose on performance.

pcpartpicker website helps to determine whether there are incompatibilities it lets you know (although not always 100%).
you could also consider buying a second hand desktop off gumtree.
if you are going new, here is what i came up with .. now these are from a variety of shops all over the place.

you could get a smaller screen - i went for 24" rather than 21"
you could get a lesser graphics card, a 960 is really pretty good and will last you a while so i would try and keep that if you can.

hope that helps.
