I know almost nothing about gaming PC's but i am able build one if somone can suggest a list of parts. Budget = under 1k. I am looking something that will be able to run games along the same capacity as Rainbow 6 siege, etc.
Right now i play CSGO on my mac book air 11 inch so i really need some suggestions.
The fps is killing me.
Can anyone suggest anything to me, second hand prebuilt even.
If you have further information and would really like to help me out
Thanks

Edit: You will max out CSGO with this build, no sweat. RSS is a different beast, ultra graphics with the HD texture pack will put a strain on even the beefiest of graphics cards. However you would still be able to play with the graphics turned up to high / very high for sure

If i were to get games like rainbow 6 siege which would be better and what is the difference between the 2.
as i said before i know almost nothing about parts but when you say rig does that mean pre built?
Thanks again
 

These are not prebuilt, this is a parts list. You would either have to assemble it yourself or pay someone locally to do it for a small fee. If your really want prebuilt I could find you something though.

The difference between the 60hz monitor and 144hz monitor is the refresh rate. A 60 hz can draw at 60 frames per second and a 144hz can draw at 144 frames per second. A lot of high level CSGO players tend to use 144hz but for your average or above average player it's not really necessary.

1k AUD, sorry. When i select australia some of the prices disappear. I also need a case (if thats what you call them. The thing that they all go inside of) can i get one from the part picker website?
 


If you'd said australia in your first post it could have saved us both some time mate :)

The Deepcool tesseract in my parts list is the case I picked, but honestly I think the case is really something that you should be picking - it's you that has to look at it every day for the next X years

I'll requote to $1k AUD

I had to remove windows 10 to get it in budget. You can download, install and use windows 10 without a product key, it won't stop you using it - the only restrictions are that you can't personalise it (change the desktop etc) or use the microsoft account services, also there's a watermark on the desktop asking you to activate.

Just use it for free until you can afford to buy it :)

Thanks!! Whats the difference between paid and free? Can you add it in and the Acer XF240H 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor in AUD send it again so i can see the price difference? I say this because i haven't really figured out how to use part picker yet and cant find the same screen in search. Thank you for all the work you've done for me. much appreciated.

Also i've been looking on partpicker on the lists you've sent me. there have been a few things left out i think i might need. Just send me a list of parts that you think is a decent set for my situation. forget price?
Thanks again
 
Sorry mate ive been in a meeting all morning, did you want to have a go yourself? Open my latest build and click 'edit this build' and have a play, I would suggest

Change cpu back to an i5
Change ram back to 16gb (2x8gb)
Add the 1tb hard drive back
Change graphics card back to an rx 480
Add windows 10
Choose a 144hz monitor (use the filters on the left to select the refresh rate)
Plus anything else you feel like

When you're done you can click the BB button and just copy paste it here
 
On lunch break :)
