G'day I am new to the forums so I'm not sure if this is where this gets posted.

 

I was looking at what costs id be looking at to build a semi decent computer to play MMOs such as Star Wars The Old Republic and Wildstar at decent graphics as well as some older shooters.

 

Prices would be most preferred in Aud.

Just threw this together for 880, also capable of playing some other more demanding games:

becouse if i can have a 580 at that price point and run bf1 on ultra with 75 fps why the hell should i take a 1050 and not be able to play it at all ?!

The OP doesn't play BF1, so I didn't see a problem throwing in a good budget GPU in the partlist. Also, the 580 is quite a bit more expensive than the 1050Ti and I wanted to keep the price low.

Read closely, the PCPP list is in AUD not USD

and actually "8"cores on 4.6 aint that bad xD upgrade is shit but if you dont mind nice 30 degrees in your room your fine xD

If "8" cores at 4.6 "isn't that bad" explain why a 3.5Ghz 4 core i5 can beat it in every benchmark? The FX-series was totally trashed on by the Core i5 line. Their single-threaded performance was pretty terrible and their multi-threaded performance wasn't much better.

Welcome to the forums!

Would this also be suitable for light video recording?

Because the partlist I made was in AUD where the OP lives, not whatever currency you use. Take a closer look at the partlist.

Light, yes. You could even do some light video editing in Windows Live Movie Maker. I should also add that I didn't add Windows on the list, you can grab a copy of that from kinguin.com for a pretty low price.

not true i am not a fan boy and have tried botth and finde amd in that price a good choise and lmao i thought your parts where in usd xD

Haha. I bought AMD and have been regretting it ever since. The only reason I'm planning on getting Ryzen is since it's actually a good platform for the price and I don't have the budget for Intel.
