Gaming Rig: Less than a grand

[BeginnerPro]

Hey guys, BeginnerPro here

As the title says, i'm looking for a decent gaming rig that is around $1000.... Australian $$$. I have made a rig myself but that was 5 years ago, and i'm not as updated as i used to be.
What I'm looking for is a Gaming PC that can deliver today's games (and in the future) powerfully. The challenge though is to avoid breaking the bank. So I sorta made a mental essential that it has to be $1000 to $1150.
Even though i have been out of the trend of today... I do know of some online Australian shops which provides hardware in a competitive value. The shops are:

MSY: http://msy.com.au/news.jsp?newsid=5
PcCaseGear: http://www.pccasegear.com

I hope they're a bit cheaper there...

Thx! 😀

P.S. i'm also looking for a decent sized monitor/screen
