First PC build australia.

[arancini]

Budget (including currency): 1500 AUD (can go over a bit)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: casual games (coral island, stardew etc), & story games like until dawn, GTA, RDR2, Witcher etc. Also some uni work. 

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): not sure

 

I don't know too much about building PC's but i've done a bit of research & think I'd prefer to go with AMD over intel & my brother keeps telling me to go with a NVIDIA 3060 or higher for gpu? Also I would prefer a white case if possible & if within budget just coz it will match my current desk setup better (but trying not to be too fussy since my budget is quite low). This stuff confuses me lol & any help would be much appreciated, thanks

hey! thanks so much for replying. Unfortunately that goes over my budget quite a bit as I use AUD,, is there any way for it to be around 1500 AUD (with some wiggle room) as that came to around $2360. Thanks again !

Wot ? You're recommending a board that's being phased out with no PCie5 GPU slot ?

Budget constraints hence the RTX 3060.
