Im looking for a gaming pc under 1600 Aussie dollars and that can run CS Go, League of legends, overwatch pub g and other upcoming future games at 50- very high frames for league and cs go. Im also looking for a pre build as well thanks

Your first problem is that you're looking for a prebuilt. Buying one of those wastes a lot of money. I'd build a system like this:

This'll do just about anything you want it to. Buying a prebuilt with these specs would cost you almost double, so I really wouldn't advise that.

an R5 2400G will do what you want for the least amount of money.

For the games you want to play, the Cheap ass Ryzen APU will be fine, I'd save the rest of your money for a next generation GPU in a few months.

He's on a $1600 budget, not a $400 one

 

And no, the 2400G won't do those games 1080p ultra.

The suggestion by @Leinad4400 is pretty spot on. The only thing I would change is the PSU though. Pay an extra 10-20 dollars and get a Gold certified one instead of Bronze.

Is there a difference? A nice Bronze one is already good enough and gold rated units in AU are expensive while AFAIK electric is cheap

Usually the Gold ones have a bit more protection like overcurrent protection and short circut protection. But this depends on the models.

For me this is quite crucial because I get sudden blackouts every month, so a proper PSU is a must.

Definitely. I have the 1600 and I've been able to hit a 3.8GHz overclock on the stock cooler, still staying below 70°C.

80PLUS ratings are just efficiency. Better protection tends to come with higher end ones, though, so yeah a silver or gold would be better. CX650 was just the first decent one I saw on the list lol

Will the mobo board come with latest . bios installed? and if npt how do i install it, sorry again big noob here 

 

[Droidbot]

Wait for eBay 20% off Dell (on at the moment)

 

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Dell-Inspiron-Gaming-Desktop-Intel-i7-8700-16GB-RAM-256GB-SSD-GTX-1070-8GB-/332539475090?hash=item4d6ce5b492

 

Use code 'PUMP20' to make it roughly 1700AUD. You stretch but it's an i7 8700 with a 1070, better than 1600 and 1060 by a long stretch.

Yep, no problems there. Also, this ASUS PCE-AC56 is a pretty good wireless network adapter.

As I said before, the APU will run the games he wants to play just fine, and leave about $1000 AUS for a high end GPU and a display upgrade in a few months.

Or as before, you can save that money for a next gen GPU + high end display....whenever they come out.

this build ^ is a good build. you shoulnd be worried with building a pc. just look up some videos and tips for building before u build. lemme tell ya, a prebuilt system will be made for 1000 and u pay 1600.
