Project Micro

[Depravedgunman]

Hey guys i have a proposition for you guys i have $1700 Australian dollars to spend

 

I am in need of a gaming system i would like it to be a micro atx build i would also like to have a monitor since i don't have one so i'm dedicating $200 out of the budget just for the monitor 24" preferably

 

im not worrying about overclocking for now but i want good air flow, currently leaning towards the 350D for the ascetics and overall quality of the case but if you have better options with a window i would also take them into consideration.

 

i'm sorry if i offend any amd fans but i strictly only want an intel processor 1150 socket as for the graphics i'm looking at the gtx 760 not specific but this doesn't limit amd cards from being used and also i don't really have a color scheme but i was looking at red and black but that's pretty main stream so anything unique that looks good will do.

 

lastly i will be adding a $500 budget for any other things that may be needed in the near future (next month) i will need a new keyboard and mouse i would like the keyboard to be mechanical and they should match with the led's might also want to chuck in some fans and maybe another HHD or ssd.

 

any help is much appreciated

Thank you

I suggest to wait until Corsair releases their RM lineup in Australia, it should be pretty soon. The RM650 is the same I showed you, but it has fully modular cables and Corsair link, which allows you to monitor the temps and fan speed in Windows. Sorry for not following your red&black color scheme, but those parts are so expensive in Australia, so I went with black&metallic instead. It should run all the current games (discluding Crysis 3) on max settings.

As for monitor, take this:

Get an IPS panel instead for better colors.

 

Do you need a copy of Windows?

Fyi, you need to quote a post or else the person won't get a notification that you replied to them.
