pc build advice

[PCAlex]

Budget (including currency): my budget is $1000 AUD (Australian Dollars)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: a bit of work some AAA title like Halo infinite

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):  don't need any peripherals but i am unsure of what to get. I was Told that the inflation was really bad so i am increasing my budget to hopefully allow for better parts for my money.

my current pc part list is

i would prefer something more like $800 but i am ok with $1000

for spending 200 more aud dollars and bumping up your budget you will get around 30-20 % more performance 800 aud is simpily to little AND I WAS JOKING ABOUT THE INFLATION https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/V8yRz6

You've shared that incorrectly, doesn't open up your list, a link like this opens up the last build on the computer thats opened the link.

Whilst still a low end motherboard at least it has one USB type C port cause that's the direction we're all heading in:

As per your budget of $800 it is hard to get all new parts for this price point that will give you an enjoyable experience playing the games like Halo Infinite.
For the extension to $1000 that you have mentioned I've put together this list: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/9QYtQP

This is obviously a budget machine so a few compromises have to be made, in the case of my part list - RAM speed and Case.
I've added in a RTX 3060 for the GPU as this will give you great performance along with giving you the option to use it's suite of features in newer games

$1000AUD is a pretty restrictive budget for a full gaming build for us Aussies considering the price we pay for some components but it's definitely doable.

I'd highly recommend looking for a used GPU on the second hand market. You could relatively easily pick up a 3060Ti for $200-$250 or a 3070/3070Ti for $350-$400AUD.

 

My above recommendation will see you running most games 60+ frames @ 1080p but the cost of the GPU is pretty ridiculous. An RX6600 like in the previous recommendations will likely be fine although some AAA titles you'll need to turn down some of the settings for a smooth 60fps.

 

Definitely take advantage of the current Black Friday sales, prices are fluctuating pretty hard atm.
