Hey, I want to get a gaming pc, for around 700 AUD, I want it to run as many games as I can, mostly new games that are really intense on the CPU, and it would be amazing if all the parts are currently available to buy!

The motherboard will need built in WiFi
In has to run overwatch & rust as a minimum

Put most of the money into CPU, ram and graphics card. (Mostly CPU, and graphics card I consider this to be very important)

Thank you very much for the help <3 <3 <3

If you have $900, this is what you should go with:

CPU has 4C/8T, basically an underclocked i7.
Everything else is same with top build.

This 800 AUD build is fine, will play most games, has a good CPU.Built-in Wi-Fi is impossible, you'll have to get a USB.

Dropping it to 700AUD goes from 4C/4C to 2C/4T:
This too will play most games, but the lower CPU power might show in some more CPU intensive games.

You might be pushing it for $700, that's console territory. I'm not going to try pricing it for you because I'm in NZ but I know our currency is pretty close at the moment.

You need something like:
i5 or R5
8-16GB of RAM
GTX 1050Ti, 1060, or RX480 or better
Decent 500W+ PSU

On top of that add a case, hard drive, and OS and I'm assuming you already have a screen & keyboard & mouse. You may be better off looking for a second hand machine or saving longer. Or just buy that console.

My friends are all one PC, and I may have more money, just hoping to see what I can get for cheap and build from there, may try for a 900$ build, but this is just a start.

EDIT: You can also go with the R5 1400 and a 1060 3GB, the 1060 3GB would cost around $300.
