So after attempting to OC my cpu, i have fryed my mobo and my cpu so alas, it's time for a new pc or partly new anyway.

I'm wanting to spend 400nzd max on the new parts i need and would like some suggestions on what's the best bang for my buck/price range.

I'm looking to get a new mobo, cpu, psu and a good case.

Would anyone mind putting together a grocery list or recommend parts to me i can get within my 400$ limit

Currently i have a 560ti - 4gb 1333 corsair ram (2 sticks) - dvd burner/drive - 1tb hdd that i want to continue using. My pc is primarly for gaming.

All suggestions on parts/ how to cut costs are welcome.

You should reutilize your case, and then save some 50 bucks and get a better case.

Total, 400 bucks.
