$600 AUD computer help??

[Redturtle098]

Hey there,

My friend recently decided to plan on building a $500 - %600 ish computer for gaming.
It is his first time building one and we are unsure on what would be a good setup for this.

I don't think that he will be playing very intensive games, in terms of graphics, but would like a reasonable fps.

Any suggestions??

 

Regards,

Redturtle

you can't get much for 500-600 while keeping decent graphics + fps, this is the best I could do :\

Actually, heres a slightly cheaper one with a RX460 instead of a GTX 1050TI. it would seem the GTX 1050TI is really overpriced there I guess.

Even though the RX460 is cheaper, I'd still recommend the GTX 1050TI if you're willing to spend that much

You can't google the direct conversion because they will cost more anyway, they have to pay for shipping and have to see if its in demand or not.
