$2000 Aus Gaming Build Help

TheNoobGamer · Feb 2, 2017

Hey guys, it's been quite a while since i was here but i'm on the market for a new gaming pc. I'm looking to spend roughly $2000 AUD or around $1500 USD, hoping someone has a good build that is built purely for gaming. I don't mind what parts it has aslong as they're the best in their categories (within the budget).
Appreciate any help and Thanks.

Lan_man2273 :

One bit of advice i would give about that build, get a 480/500gb ssd. I thought 256gb was going to be enough, but games these days take up ridiculous amounts of space (like 70gb), so I found myself having to uninstall games that i was currently still playing to install a new one. Wish i had gone with the larger drive.

Lan_man2273 has covered your answer, although i doubt you can get that price in aussie. Everything in Aussie is expensive. Here is what i can find in aussie (the price should in aussie dollar)

There are a few reason why I only suggest non K i7. Its just that not everyone is overclock maniac that can pull off every potential. Just use normal i7 and use automatic turbo boost to get the most of it safely. My i5 2320 can get extra 0,5GHz (16,66% from 3GHz) )without any risk and trouble.

Why using B250 chipset? because its the latest and should more fit for non K build.

Why the cheap hsf? It will do the job.
