New build

[Burnedice25]

Hi, I'm a looking to build first PC, and I'm on a tight budget (surprise!). My budget is $1100 AUD. now most of you will say that's heaps, but the AUD is really crap. But to help I've already selected a CPU: i5 2400

 

if possible please leave a PC part pick link, cheers.

This CPU is not a good choice. Get a more powerful and most importantly, more recent one.

R9 390 is around the same performance as the RX 480. They trade blows.

And an SSD is a must nowadays, it improves everyday's usage by a lot.

 

Here you go, RX 480:
