Hey guys, 

 

Names James, I'm from Australia and all the prices listed are in $AUS, i have been tinkering around with custom PC's on websites and trying to make both one that will be able to last me through the next 4 years and whilst maxing out most titles like bf4 and star wars battlefront, batman etc, I have a $2200 dollar budget but i suppose the cheaper the better,

 

Budget = $2000 (AUD)
 

Aim = Gaming at 1080p on a single monitor

 

Peripherals = Buying a Razer Blackwidow 2014 Ultimate of a mate for $10 but i will need a mouse and a headset, mouse pad etc.

 

Why am i Upgrading = Im not upgrading, I'm buying a PC for the first time outright, my mates have gotten into it and i thought i would give it a shot

 

Here is what i have made in my tinkering,
