$1500 AUD PC

[_Arun21]

Hi guys can someone please help me build my 1st pc

 

i posted this before but i wasnt very specipic so here we go again

 

1)My budget for this build is a maximum if $1570 AUD but it would be great if you could make a build for a lower price

 

2)My aim for this system is to run games like Project Cars, The Crew, NBA 2K15, GTA V, TF2 and many others at high settings

 

3) I would like a 1080p monitor with no more than 5ms response time and i would also like a cops of windows 8.1 (a legit version) and a network adaptor.

 

4) I do need peripherals but i think ill get the CMStorm Devastador but if you have a keyborad and mouse for $75 you can add that (must be included in final price)

 

5) I am upgrading because i have got into pc gaming

 

Thanks.

 

Also i really like my builds to look good so for the case i would like a fractal design define r5 or nzxt h440

I thought our Canadian markup was bad until I tried to use PC part picker to do this.

Your welcome, I believe build guides are great and all but you can save money if you educate yourself to the point where someone can tell you what they want to do with a pc and you can go put a list together right there and have everything on the list be the best deal.
