Hey,

 

I'm building a new rig and just wondering what parts you guys recommend. My budget is around $1200 AUD and i live in australia. Probably going to get the parts of www.pccasegear.com

 

im thinking of getting either an RX 480 or a GTX 1060. I want to be able to play at 1080p at a constant 60fps. Please help me out guys. 

 

Thanks!

The rx 480 are better for budget PCs, I'd go with that. Do you need a monitor and peripherals in that budget as well?

Yeah but the last time i checked the difference in australia for both is only around $30. No monitor and peripherals, that budget is just for the computer.

I think that he will get more performance with a 4690K overclocked than with a 6500, let alone a 6400...

your build doesn't factor the price of the case and motherboard and has a mediocre psu. if you added the price of the mobo and case your build will go over budget. so back off. also, you didn't add in a cpu cooler, so he wouldn't be able to oc much.
