hey guys, I was wondering if this is a good budget build gaming pc. I put it together in about 20 minutes, so please post a comment if there is something wrong. my budget is around $1000 (AUD) give or take a few hundred.
I am using pc case gear: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php
to get all of my computer components.
here is my build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/SuTQ
I am using the stock cooling fan for the CPU, because I will not be overclocking it any time soon.
advice is appreciated, and I do not mind any recommendations.
Purchase date: hopefully OCT-DEC
Budget Range: $1000 (AUD)- $1500 (AUD). I would like to save as much money as possible.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, recording (fraps, etc), commentating, streaming/live streaming, movies, producing music, cd's, pretty much everyday stuff.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. Preferably 21.5" to 22".
Parts to Upgrade: everything. I will need some help to see if my build is good for gaming.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, i will be buying windows 7 home premium as the OS, as windows 8 is meant for PHONES not COMPUTERS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: pc case gear: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php
(they have the cheapest prices for Australian users).
Location: Geraldton, Western Australia, Australia. I will be buying all of my components from pc case gear, as there is no parts shop where I live.
Parts Preferences: I would like to keep with the AMD preference, as I here they are the best for budget builds. (I am not a fanboy, and do not want this feed to become a battlefield for INTEL/AMD enthusiasts).
Overclocking: Definately not
SLI or Crossfire: No, not needed
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: none, unless you have something to say.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am upgrading because my laptop is not the best choice for gaming. I have the HP ENVY14 SPECTRE (you can search up the specs and correct me if I am wrong).
