Hi all,
looking for some advice on building my first pc from scratch.
Budget around $2000 Australian but can go over.
Not worried about OC or. Prefer Intel.
Unit will become part of my media room used mostly for gaming and movies on the bigger screen.
As it is my first build im looking for all the detail in what i need as after always buying pre built systems im looking forward to the challenge of building my own.
Appreciate any help and thankyou in advance.
