$800 AUD Gaming Rig

[AngusFitz32]

Hi guys

 

I want to build a new rig, it will be used just for gaming and web browsing. My budget is $800 AUD. No need for OS, peripherals or monitor.

 

Thanks in advance

You could try to fit an FX 6300 with a R9 270 in there, you can't really do that much with your budget.

Only thing that really needs to be added is an SSD and aftermarket CPU cooler for less noise and increased performance.

Here is a good build if you aren't doing heavily cpu intensive tasks. In normal web browsing/most games, better single thread performance is more relevant. The fx 6300 is slightly ovverated for gaming. This is more balanced
