Australia $1500

[cyper_dog]

1. Budget & Location
~AUD$1500 (Australia). But lenient.

2. Aim
Mostly playing modern games and surfing the web.

3. Monitors
One for gaming (1080p), but hopefully another on the side for the convenience.  

4. Peripherals
I need a monitor and wireless adapter. If within the price a SSD.

5. Why are you upgrading?
Upgrading from an old laptop.

 

 

Also not trying to be pushy but I prefer Intel and Nvidia :3

Advance Thanks!

A little over budget, but you could cut down on a few things, like a non IPS monitor.\
