I have been saving up to build a new pc for ever and i have saved $600 AUD. I want a pc that can play most new games 30-60 fps at 1080pp but can also handle some editing and photoshop work. I need to fit a 1080pp monitor and a set of headphones w/ a mod mike or a decent headset to the budget. if possible I want a GTX 960/70 and an i5. Also i want a blue theme to the build.

Thanks to everyone who will help!!  :)

for that build and the other stuff you're looking at like $2000 AUD.

 

My PC in sig, just the case and internal components set me back a little over 2K a 970 ALONE is ~$500.

 

$600 for the internals and case, doable. for everything, impossible, it's gonna be ~$250 for the Headset and Monitor by themselves.

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Here I put this together for a cheap console level gaming pc.

And yes I know this is not the best build but with your budget I don't see fitting in much more.

 

Maybe a cheap graphics card down the line.

true, APU or used route. i cant even fit i3 and 950 into the budget
