$1800 AUD full setup

hi all!

 

Well I have a budget of $1800 AUD for a full setup. It will be mostly for gaming and surfing, but also some light video editing.

 

I need a PC tower, headphones, keyboard and mouse. The 1.8k is the max budget, but anything lower is always welcome :)

 

I would also like it all to be a bit colour matched since the PC is gonna be sitting next to me on my desk, so I would like it to look nice.

 

Also, I would like a mechanical keyboard, I was looking at the CM storm Quickfire TK, it's 109, and I think that's pretty good.

 

And lastly, for the case, I love the Obsidian line, so if ATX, the 450D would be my choice, and if mATX then 350D.

 

No OS needed.

 

Thanks in advance!
