Gaming Build help [NZD]

July 15, 2015

Hi y'all.

So i'm from New Zealand and I want to make a gaming pc.. the budget is more around the $700 mark but I would like to keep it as low as possible without making the build a piece of shit.

This is the parts I've selected currently... obviously these are over budget a bit. Now the mobo and cpu were given to me but I have no heatsink so that's why there is one included.

I'll be using the pc for games such as, minecraft, gta v, payday 2, bf3 and cs:go. I would also be rendering movies and doing editing and such for school.

I will probs have 2 monitors at most, I have one now. Samsung S22D300F.

It's a bit hard to really tell where you can safe money, cause you're from NZD.

But I'd recommend to use the stock cooler that comes with the CPU. You won't overclock with that CPU anyway.
Instead of the OCZ SSD, go for a Crucial BX100. Those perform a lot better and are much cheaper.

Maybe you can get a different graphics card. Sapphire usually has some really awesome AMD graphics cards for a lower price than ASUS for example.
