As the title mentions I need help building a pc. I had a rig all done but then I realised I need to convert it to au. I ended up with $1800 AU. I cant afford that price so I need help to create one. When I started a new one I hit 1000$ Au, I only included the motherboard, CPU, SSD & GPU.

So my last resort was this. Just to let you know I already have a monitor, keyboard & mouse.

These are the requirements:

Budget: 1200$-1500$ (AU) Try to keep the price down but if needed you can reach up to 1500$

Required Parts:
Include a SSD (500-250gb) (NO HDD)
Make sure the GPU is a 1060 gigabyte Don't have to use this site but use this kind of GPU:

Make sure the RAM is ddr4 8gb 2166mhz-2400mhz-2666mhz & well known

Other Notes:
Make sure its Intel (8th gen) (Dont ask why)
Include Windows 10
Make sure the case is cool but simple (Don't care about RGB unless its pretty cheap)

Have any questions/answers? Feel free to post.
Thanks!

If you are looking for cheap parts in AUD.

Check out this website.

Is there any reason why you have to have Intel?

What is your main usage going to be?

My main usage is gaming at mid settings 1080p.
I've looked at umart before and I'll look a bit more into it.

I prefer intel because in my opinion I personally think its superior in many ways except the price lol.

Please list the exact components when you "When I started a new one I hit 1000$ Au, I only included the motherboard, CPU, SSD & GPU."
Why are you not considering a Radeon RX-580 8G?
Something like this would be equal to a GTX-1060...

and save you about $100.

I will ask why are you considering only Intel for this build?
"Thinking Intel is superior in many ways" is limiting yourself.
Do some research. Check Tom's latest CPU reviews and comparisons.

There is nothing wrong with Intel but informed buying is preferred to "thinking it's superior".

I used an intel i5-8400. Went overboard with motherboard & chose Asus ROG STRIX H370-F Gaming Intel LGA 1151 CL ATX Motherboard. 1060 gigabyte & 860 Samsung Evo 500gb SSD

Yeah I know I check out that site all the time and I compare them with AMD and Ryzens. That's how I got the 8400 as my pick.

Some people state Intel's more on gaming and AMD is mainly on recording/streaming & gaming. When I stated intel is more superior I meant in speed and more people use it overall.
P.S just gonna point this out there with price differences. Sorry I wasn't clear, I would prefer inter over AMD.
