Hi,
I'm looking to build a highish end gaming/workstation pc. My main uses are going to be gaming (LoL, Smite, Blacklight Retribution, Crysis 3 etc) and for my workstation purposes I will be using office, Photoshop etc. I will be watching a lot of YouTube and twitch as well.
I will be over clocking (hopefully to around 4.5ghz).
No SLI (this is really all I want to spend).
Monitor wise I am deciding between whether I want to spend a lot and get dual 27" or spend a little less and get a 27" and a 24" or go dual 24" but meh.
I live in Australia so I am limited to a number of websites with some exceptions.
My preferred websites are pccasegear.com , netplus.com.au , austin.net.au and amazon.com .
The souncard I am going to buy isn't certain yet but I will need one because I am buying some astro 50s
I already have office, a logitech G110 keyboard, a logitech G700 mouse and a razer Goliathus mouse mat.
I am upgrading from a 3 year old toshiba laptop
