$1000AUD PC

I'm looking to build a computer for gaming and work.

This is my first build and I have a $1000 total budget so I could use some help.

I use stuff like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier. Games Minecraft, Halo and CSGO.

 

I alse need a monitor (2 would be good if possible) keyboard, wireless internet connection and I'd like the case to have a display window.

 

I want this computer to also be good enough to last me 4-5 years. 

Also I live in Australia so postage is another thing, Australian online stores would be best.

 

~ Thanks

I think you'll have to spend more than $1000AUD to fit all of that in whilst trying to achieve good performance..

$1000 AUD really isn't a lot for a good PC and peripherals, I'd recommend to keep saving if you don't need it immediately, or allocate the full $1000 to the PC, and try to snag a couple of monitors and keyboard from relatives/friends/etc for free or like $20-50. You can always replace those with better options later when you can afford it.

The ram is there. It's called "Memory" in that list.

 

What I DID forget are the monitors and other peripherals.

 

Lukart's build above is your next best option

No way I could get a quad core for this price?

Only if you sacrifice all your budget for peripherals like I said before, and source them from relatives, friends, etc. on the cheap.  Otherwise your only other option would be to not get a graphics card at all and run on integrated graphics until you can afford a good one.
