Hey guys, i'm getting a new PC build and would like to see what you can come up with (PCPP lists if you can be bothered). I'm Australian and have a budget of $700 AUD (ish, i will consider going over for performance) I only have one 75Hz 1080p monitor and don't plan to get more, and I have peripherals covered. I just want something I can comfortably play CS:GO, RB6 and Minecraft on at around 100 FPS (I don't mind the game looking bad, i'm coming from a laptop so it's not like I know what the games look like in ultra settings anyway). I don't think i'll be upgrading anytime soon, and something like a 500GB SSD is preferred (don't worry, I don't really use any other software other than the standard stuff and the three games i've listed). Love to see what you guys can come up with and thanks in advance!

Yeesh, I can't get over how expensive parts are in Australia! This was the best I could come up with for the price:

 

The only way to get below $719 would be to drop down to the Ryzen 3 1200, which is an option, but the 9100F performs way better.

It's not really more expensive, just a different currency. Also the R3 2200G performs slightly worse but $30 less. Also the 470 4GB is about $20 cheaper too

Oh, good, take the 470 then. That puts you right at budget. The 9100F will still perform better than the 2200g by a decent margin, plus it will even beat out the 1600 in the games you are looking to play.

Someone mentioned a 470. Get that instead to save in the 14$.

 

Just to avoid falling into the 4c/4t trap of the 9100f and r3 1200
