Id say start wih this and go to your local cex or whatever to get a certifird used/refurb card like a rx6700xt as that is in the 400aud budget

 

I madr these changes mainly so you have better cooling and airflow as the cooler you took was old and not good and the case has NO airflow.

Thank you jaslion because I had no clue what I was doing and this was very helpfull, the only bad thing I have to say about this I don't think this is as upgradable as my version and the 750 WATTS! but I will be using your build.

How do you mean upgradeable?

 

Also whats the issue with the 750w psu?

 

A power supply only delivers as much as its asked. So if a pc asks like 300w the psu will consume a bit more than 300w of power to deliver it to the system (ac/dc conversion is never lossless). The 750w on the unit means a UP TO 750w. Not will always consume 750w of power.

 

So it is actually more upgradeable in that regard.

 

As for gpu defo have a look at thr cex or whatever its called refurb section. They have lots of good priced cards. Id say first have a look there, reach back to us here (just ping or quote us in this thread) with a list of options and we can then budget adjust the build more if needed as that is still possible
