Looking to build a gaming rig

[luke127]

Hey guys, I'm looking to build a gaming rig for under $1000 AUD, if anyone could advise me on how I would go about this, that'd be great. Thanks

PS: I need at least 8 GB of RAM due to my love of minecraft. Also I would love a 64 bit OS if we're going to include that in the build costs. Don't worry, you don't have to include it if you don't want to, I can set money aside.

Cheers,
Luke

What site do you plan to use? I'll catch you tomorrow.

Umm, I can't use newegg because it doesn't ship to Australia, however I can use Amazon, and any other sites that do ship to Australia.

Newegg does have an Aus option, but last time I checked that out there weren't many parts available yet. You don't have any Aus sites to use? Think I remember Mwave was one....maybe. I can't really remember

I will see what I can find in terms of Australian sites, but any ideas on parts?

Ballpark of
i5 4440
B85 motherboard or H81
8GB 1600MHz cheapest RAM
GTX 760
Seasonic 520 or 620 s1211 or CX500
Your choice of OS, case, and storage.

Ideally I'd use an SSD for the OS, and a separate drive for installation of programs. But unfortunately I don't think I can afford both XD OS Would probably be Windows, although I might dual boot windows and Kali Linux
