Need help with Customizing a PC

[SammoFS]

So I need some help on choosing the Items I need for a Gaming PC. 

 

It Needs to be under 1 Thousand Dollars In AUD (Australian Dollar) (991 CAD/766,59 USD)

 

My Current N61JQ Asus Notebook Isn't cutting it for Garry's Mod and other games. It can play well but the Graphics card is starting to give and the CPU is "ancient" (Intel i7 Q720)

 

I've been looking at this https://au.pcpartpicker.com/guide/CVH9TW/excellent-gaming-build But I'm not sure If It's good.

The build you're looking at is solid but it's nearly double your budget...

 

Do you need peripherals or an OS?

[SammoFS]

Peripherals/OS, I need to save up, Buy Parts and then Build the PC.

The thing is the build you want is twice the price

I'm Aware, As a Previous Poster just said. And That's part of the reason I'm asking on here.

This build will last a long time at 1080p, but if you dont want to wait to save up more a RX 480/1060 will still be fine for a few years.

You're going to change a lot of parts in there. 

 

6600k -> 6400/6402P/6500

Z170 -> H110/H170/B150 motherboard

GTX 1070 -> RX 470/480 or GTX 1060

3TB HDD -> 1TB

500GB SSD -> 240/250 GB

80+ gold PSU -> 80+ bronze .

Cryorig H7 -> intel stock cooler. 

 

Shadowcaptain has an excellent rig above. Try variations of it and you should be good to go.

Regarding This, Would the 1060 Graphics card Be enough to handle ARK: Survival Evolved And ARK: Survival Of the Fittest (Basically Same Graphics) I'm Assuming that It would be able to.

Its the best GPU (along with the 480) that you will get

 

should handle them fine
