HELP! I am a complete newbie to computer building and I want some advice!

[Sneach2]

HELP! I was just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on what parts are needed to build a good gaming computer. The only part I have is the case but I may want to upgrade that in the future. If you could let me know what the parts that I will need to build my pc. I am willing to spend a max of $1500 AUD. I would love a full tower case with a see through side and blue LED lighting. Thx

Please read the above

It would be easier if you werer to give us a budget then work from that but for something that'll last a few years with all the modern things about $1500

But it all really depends on what you want it for, you mentioned gaming we'll that's a given but would you also want it for streaming or content creation

this might be a base to work from

However, it can get much cheaper if you want to reduce some parts or take some out and the same for more expensive depending on your thoughts

You will need the following things:

- CPU

- Motherboard

- RAM

- CPU Cooler (typically supplied with the cpu, though aftermarket coolers are better most of the time)

- Case

- Power Supply

- HDD or SSD (I'd recommend at least a 128GB SSD and/or a 1tb HDD)

- GPU (unless the integrated graphics of the CPU/APU are powerful enough for your needs.)

About $1500 AUD Is my max. I will be doing a bit of streaming and gameplay recording/editing/posting. Also I would like it to be able to play HD movies. I may be doing some adobe photoshop work on it to. Finally, I would use it for school work. Thx
