Computer for $1000AUD

[Grovers1]

I want to make a desktop computer and I have $1000AUD to build it. This is not including monitors, keyboards, ect.

I need to run Programimg software, Dreamweaver and photoshop type programs and I'll also be doing some gaming on it. I will be playing minecraft and I need to be able to run a modpack using 200-300 mods. I might have 3-5 programs running at the most

Anyone able to help me out with a build? Thanks

Slightly over budget, but should work nicely. Let me know if you can't go over at all.

This leaves you just over $300 for a GPU.  Polaris GPUs should be revealed in the next few days, maybe even coming to market by the end of June.  Worth waiting for, at least until reviewers get there hands on them.  If the 480/480X cards perform well, you might be able to grab one for $300.  A R9 380 4GB would do you fine, the R9 480 should be a good deal better.

 

You can add mass storage as you need it, later.  Grab the SSD first and get Windows installed.
