Hello!

Can someone build me/improve on my budget gaming PC
My budget is :$600.00 w/ Peripherals and Windows
I also want this to be able to record / edit game play and or images as well as computer programming. I know this is alot to ask but please help me, i'm new and am going to build in December holidays so if there are any deals near Christmas which can ship to NZ free and trustworthy the please tell me!

If you know Amazon can ship to NZ free and is trustworthy please let me know 😀

Here is a good site for building PCs in NZ!

Please help me, im not good at building gaming PCs.
Also I don't mind playing on med settings if its 30+ for games like CSGO (lol) , BF4 and new FPS games.

PLEASE REMEMBER I LIVE IN NZ, SO THE PRICES ARE VERY BIG DIFFERENCE! IF YOU KNOW A GOOD BRAND THAT CAN SHIP TO NZ FREE THEN THAT WILL ALSO WORK IF THEY ARE TRUSTWORTHY!
Thanks!

I came up with this. Budget build.

Its over budget but its very hard/impossible under 800 usd. The prices to NZ is well.. beyond me.

This is if you use an existing hdd and get windows "some other way".

What pc parts do you have? Anything you can use to save money?

Here are some tips. I'm in North America so your mileage may vary. Newegg has a New Zealand site with good prices.

Zalman Z5 case for $38.
Cheapest power supply they have is an OCZ 550W for $112.
AMD X4 860K is $107
Asus A68HM motherboard $82
8GB Ram is $57
A Radeon R7 370 video card is $194
a 1TB hard drive for $75

So far we're talking $665. You still need a monitor, and $40 for a DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse. And $100 for Windows. As previously mentioned it's impossible in that price range.

Some tips.
- Zalman makes the nicest cases at their prices.
- Use the heatsink that comes with the CPU and save buy not buying an aftermarket one.
- Perhaps use onboard video for now till you save enough for a video card.
- Stick to 8GB of RAM which is enough. No need to go 16GB
- Get a 1TB hard drive for now till you save for an SSD you can use for windows and installs. The 1TB will then be used for mass storage.
- Monitors are often found at good prices locally at places like staples, and bet buy. Check their sales. Also keyboard/mouse combos can be find the same way for $20.
- Don't be tempted by a cheap $30 power supply. Try to get something half decent for $75. It'll be worth it in the long run.
