$1500 (NZD) do it all build!

[fish81]

hey guys, i am  a complete newbie to pc parts and how they work so here are my requirements.

 

Budget & Location - My budget is $1500 (NZD) and my location is New Zealand.  If one shipment is over $400 i will need to pay GST and i am only willing to do this for the graphics card.

 

Aim - playing the latest games at 1080p and music creation and editing.

 

Monitors - one for the mean time but may upgrade when i get more $$$ not sure what resolution as am complete newbie.

 

Peripherals - OS, 1 Monitor, wireless mouse, wired keyboard.

 

Why are you upgrading? - i have a crappy laptop with poor cpu and graphics 

 

hope this covers everything!! if not let me know below!!

It would be nice if a 120GB+ ssd could be included but the budget doesn't really allow for it.

Yeah but not at ultra 1080p.  Your kinda asking to much for your budget dude.  You can get a good pc with your standards without peripherals though.
