Second hand HP/Dell/Lenovo refurb and a 460 and if budget can fit it a SSD.

It's a bit over your budget but I would recommend this build.

If you really can't get anymore money, then go with this build, it has only 4GB cheap ram but ram is the easiest part to upgrade without a loss. When you need more, just buy a new stick of the same ram and install it, no loss; any other part would need replacing which means you lose some money in the process.

I'd definitely say you should try to keep any parts you already have if they are still usable. Ex: Keep your current HDD so you dont have to buy a new one, maybe even your old case if its decent, and maybe any fans, etc. I'd guess you dont have 8gb of ram on your Pc, but you get the point.

 

Any money you can save, put it towards a better graphics card, especially if you're planning on gaming.

 

Also, personally I always recommend to people to save up more money to get a better PC rather than cheaping out for the lower price. In the future you're going to be happy I said that.

Yeah, I realized. I still kept it to 800 aud if you convert, but yeah the shipping/availability makes it hard. I guess just use that as a general guide.

[daiv]

Basically,

 

Ryzen 5 1400

8gb ram

AMD RX 470

Any 400+ Watt PSU

 

I'd still recommend saving up though.

 

Ryzen 5 1600 + RX 580 + 16 GB ram would be your best bet, and you can get that for probably less than 1100 AUD

(Like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zvxNFd ) I know its USD again but you get the point

Haha, Thanks. $1 within budget.

Personally I would go with something like this,

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z72YzM

but that would put OP $500 over budget, Australian prices are insane. Even in that build, I'm using cheaper parts, if it was for me I would go with different brands or models. Personally I think the one I posted above will give you great performance for the next couple of years without issue. You also have room to upgrade the system for more performance without rebuilding and best of all, it falls within your budget.
