Hey guys,

Was wondering if you could recommend an $1000 (Australian) PC build mainly for gaming. I wasn't too sure if to go with Kaby lake or Ryzen but yeah was thinking maybe Ryzen 5 1400 or 1500x paired with gtx 1060.

Peripherals such as mouse,kb and monitor excluded from price. Also OS is not required too. But need decent wifi.

For 1080p, this'd be all you need:

If you want Wi-Fi, you'll have to get an ASRock Gaming-ITX/ac board, that'll up the cost to $1072:

I suggest you get the first build and add a Wi-Fi card to it, should be a cheaper option.

Thanks! I guess the first option is better and then grab some USB wifi
