Hi y'all, 

 

As you may know from the title I am looking for a PC for gaming. I have absolutely zero experience with PC's as my family has always used mac's. My price range is $3000-$4000 Australian Dollars. With my PC I would like to play games like GTA 4, GTA 5, GTA SA, Mount and Blade Warband, Arma III, Skyrim and a multitude of other games. I would also like to heavily mod these games. Lastly I need it to have an internet connection and a big storage. If someone could help me out it would be appreciated.

 

I wish to buy it for Christmas. 

 

Thanks, SlipsshodLAKER

Hi there!

 

As far as PCs go for gaming and performance, you do not need to drop that kind of dough to handle an excellent machine! I highly recommend that you look into building a PC or if you are not comfortable with doing so, having a local PC shop put it together for you. You'll get the best price for performance ratio rather than buying a pre-built one.

 

A good site to check out would be www.PCPARTPICKER.com

 

You can choose from hundreds of parts and customize to fit your needs. 

 

If you give me a sec, I can go get a list together for ya. :)

Alrighty... How does this look? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/L3NfnQ

With that kind of budget you'll have no problem building a high-end gaming PC. I built my computer through Arrow Computers but I know Newegg ships to Australia now, which is great because you'll get a huge discount on parts.

5400rpm HDD and 1333 mhz RAM?

Since you're Australian you can use www.pccasegear.com

 

I purchased all of my stuff for my current build from them and the price turned out to be $2000 (including postage). my specs are on my profile if you want to look at them

5400rpm HDD and 1333 mhz RAM?

 

I did not catch that... I should change that

Thanks everyone. I got a friend who knows a guy that builds PC's for a living. Again, Thank you for the support.  Oh, and KShark that does look like a pretty good build. Really anything is a good build with a good cpu and windows 7.
