There is nothing wrong with learning on an expensive build, the parts will mostly fit the same, they will just be more expensive. What are you not 100% clear about when it comes to PC building, perhaps we could help with a guide or two ?

[Nacho Marco Segui]

Do you have an old pc lying around? It would be better to dismantle it to see how things are connected and so on.That's how i learnt

Ok, so I was talking to a friend about a 3k desktop but before I do that I'd like to make a cheaper build to get the hang of it.

I'll need it to be able to ship to Australia and in Aus dollars

 

$200 AUD is literally no money at all, no chance of building a whole PC for $200

 

If you want a $3k desktop just get the parts and build it, its not hard, you dont need to waste money on a practice build

 

Or just buy an old PC for $50 and take it apart to practice on

Yea, pc building is quite easy so you shouldn't waste money on a "test" build

I'd prefer to start off with a 200$ build, thanks though. (If I could get those guids though that'd be great)

what kinda fps rate would I be expecting on this?

[TheRandomness]

You don't need an i7 for gaming. That's all I can see that's wrong with the list If you really want a practise system, this is the cheapest I could go: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/qYJxpg

what kinda fps rate would I be expecting on this?

A lot. You'd have a little bit of stuttering though from SLI.

i like the i7 cos it's better, not worth it but eh.

Thanks for the build list as well, I'll probably make it for a friend or something

[Bazilias]

On 1440p it will get around 120 FPS.

Well by that logic you don't need a 980ti or 2 of them for gaming either, but we are going for whats better here not what you need to play a game right?

 

i7s outperform i5s in many new games these days and will begin to pull distance even further as more games come out that utilize extra threads.

 

Also if you don't want any stutter or tearing, then get a Gsync capable monitor.

 

On 1440p it will get around 120 FPS.

 

Around there, but again it totally depends on the game. In BF4 on Ultra settings, 4xMSAA and 1440p for example I get 165fps (my gsync limit), and without gsync it's even higher at times. But on games like The Witcher 3 on 1440p fully maxed with hairworks on, I get 60-85. All depends on how good the scale as well, some games like it some don't.
