New Budget Build

[That One Computer Guy]

Any suggestions or changes you would make?

My budget is around $900 to $950 AUD. Going for a computer that will be able to run high settings/max out some games at 1080p and get around 40-60 fps (Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Dead by Daylight etc.) but if I need to turn down the settings its no biggy.

In before you say it, I already have a case and I am getting a single 8gb stick of ram because I plan to upgrade in the future (yes i realise dual channel is faster)

why not go with a 1060 or 480?

[Oswin]

Because at msy (australia), I can get an r9 380x for $120 cheaper than an rx 480 and a 1060 is out of my budget

If you can spare an extra $20, here's a RX 470 build with a FreeSync monitor and a better power supply:

Fit 16GB of RAM which I think is a much better option than 1x8GB or 2x4GB. the 380X is honestly a really good 1080p card and i think it will perform as well if not better than an RX 470.

yeah, only had the 1x8gb stick because I plan to get another in the near future, probably gonna get the r9 380x because I can get it for $70 at a shop near my house.

yeah i put in 2 8GB sticks so you dont have to worry about upgrading later, and that is a great price for the 380X
