Budget Gaming Pc $1000

[PapaGangster]

Hi guys, so I am going to be ording my parts around this week. I have no clue what is good and what is bad I only have the case which is a corsair spec 01 so keep that in mind please. I also plan on buying peripherals with this money. I have a little room to spear with shipping (I live in Australia). I would like the pc to run decent games like BF4 or titles like shadow of mordor if this is not possible as best as it can be thanks. Oh and 1 monitor for now planning on running 2 through. Australian sites would be preferred. Thanks guys! Hope I wasn't to picky.

Would you be able to give me a idea of what this could run? If not np.

BF4 at ultra pretty well, maybe without AA. Shadow of Mordor at high/ultra. It will run pretty much all modern games at high or above with good FPS. 

 

EDIT: Might give a general idea for how the GPU performs: http://www.techspot.com/review/841-radeon-r9-280x-roundup/page8.html

Little bit more expensive. Looks nicer though. 

 

Available from PC Case Gear too http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_774&products_id=27399

 

EDIT: Really, any 8GB 1600MHz kit will do. You could go with a single 8GB stick, but having 2x4GB will run in dual channel.
