Hi guys:bounce:, im from Sydney, Australia and totally new to PC gaming. Ive realised that you can can create your own system how you want it instead of buying a new console every 6yrs or less these day. I guess im after something that will run games alot more smoothly speed up loading times and just basically blow the ps4 and xbox out of the water.


I want to base my build around the games i play mostly like GTA 5, COD, other shooters and open world games also NBA and MADDEN i dont know if thats the wrong way to start but im a noob :ange:so any advice would be cool.:D

As for budget i understand things can blow out really quick and biggest isnt always best.

Budget - $1200 - $1500 AUD
Without a mouse and headset

If anyone can help out with a list of things needed for this build within the budget.
 
Looking at aus prices, base something around a i5 6500, 16gb DDR4, 500gb SSD, decent 550W PSU and a GTX 1060. Reckon youll have enough left for a case and fans etc.

if you need monitor, keyboard, mouse etc, then I'd say i3 6100, gtx 1060 and the rest the same.

Could go RX480 for the GPU to save some money for similar performance.
