$2000 aud budget

[eZe3ee]

I am currently thinking on building a new gaming pc and my budget is $2000 Australian dollar but I’m not sure on what hardware to use.

i would like some on suggestions on what computer parts I should buy.

Just PC, no peripherals, and purely for gaming, you're looking at equivalent of just under $1,300.00 USD. So assuming you can get parts for US prices in Australia (I know that's tricky sometimes):

- 5700XT for raw performance or GTX 2060 Super if you really want to play with raytracing ($390/$400)
- AMD R7 3700X (Just keep the stock cooler, overclocking doesn't help with Ryzen 2 enough to warrant better cooling) ($299)
- Gigabyte AORUS X570 Elite, ASUS X570 Plus, or ASRock X570 Steel Mobo if you have a brand preference, I think the VRM is marginally better on Gigabyte, but they are all outstanding and the difference is negligible. ($200/$190/$180).
- 32 GB Brand Name RAM @3200 Mhz (Preferably CAS 16), I reccomend the G.SKILL Aegis 16x2 Kit ($135-$140)
- Intel 660p 1 TB M.2 NVMe ($125)
- WD Blue 2TB HDD ($55)
- EVGA 650GQ 80+ Gold ($120)
- Fractal Design Define R6 ($150)
- Windows 10 Home OEM (From G2A or your preferred OEM Seller) ($20)

Now obviously the prices I listed here show a total of closer to $1,500.00, but that's because this is the quality of parts that would be complimentary, and if you shop around a little you can get these parts (Which roughly have MSRPs at around what I quoted), for this price OR BETTER. You should be able to squeeze down to $1,200.00 keeping these parts.

That said. I also assumed you didn't want to compromise quality across the build, so purchased all parts of roughly equivalent quality. You can make a lot of cuts to make this system more affordable. You could get the Intel 660p 512GB instead, totally drop the WD Blue drive if you're willing to uninstall and reinstall only the current game you're playing, you don't need an 80+ Gold power supply, any 80+ unit will do and you can shave $60.00 there, you can get a super crappy case for a fraction of the cost and it makes assembly a nightmare but will barely effect performance. You can drop your RAM down to 16 GB and be good for most games for about half the cost, and could use an X470 Mobo on the lower end and 'probably' be fine. 

With those savings you could maybe bump up to a GTX 2070 Super, I wouldn't change the CPU though, no point. And if you're thrifty you could do that while keeping it still under $1,200 (Or $2,000 AUD).

I generally recommend keeping component quality across the entire build similar, but it's hardly necessary, and most of your performance comes from GPU first, CPU second, and so long as the rest of the components at least can survive, and you have 'adequate' memory (Although Ryzen does realistically need 3200 Mhz to be at its best) your good. Hard drives have practically no effect on actual game-play quality, just load times and the overall 'speediness' of the entire computer. If you want using your computer to be a pleasure, stick with an SSD... But if you REALLY only care about squeezing as much raw gaming performance out of the computer as possible, even if it means having a sluggish computer in general and long load times while gaming, then you can stick with just an HDD and have a more money to put into the rest of your system (And also not have to deal with worrying about running out of room on your hard drive and uninstalling and reinstalling frequently like if you stick with the earlier suggested 512 GB Intel 660p compromise). 

I think in general you got few responses because you didn't specify what you want enough. For more and quicker responses include budget, maximizing for performance, or a balanced build, must include SSD or no, and what gaming peripherals you already have, or which ones you need to get as part of the budget. Obviously this entire suggestion is out the window if you have significant cost overhead for peripherals (Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Chair, Desk, Speakers/Headphones, Router, whatever).
