$1000 - $1500 AUD Build

Klime · January 22, 2015

A Australian build with s max of 1500, that can handle dual monitors, have multiple tabs open, watch YouTube and browse at the same time and also render videos. I have made 2, tell me if they are good or if you have better builds link them. Built towards the end of year.

The first one's definitely a good option

1350, an and nividea build. you could probably shave ponts, but you'll need an aftermarket cooler.

I'm not an amd fanboy, but at the mid tier they're the best dollar to performance. If you want to upgrade from here, pick lga 1150 on a z97 platform.

Uhhh, you do realize right that an FX 8xxx series CPU will bottleneck any of the high end graphics cards such as the GTX 970? And gets smashed by an i5 4440? And another thing, its a 4 core 8 module CPU as well, which is why is one of the reasons why it is a bit of an under performer.

Drop it down to the i5 4460 and you'll shave a bit off the price with minimal impact on performance, and increase the PSU in your first build to a 500W, you don't want it running at 100% all the time as that decreases the lifespan.
