Question I'm looking into buying a gaming/recording rig for personal use ?

[spritE_1]

My budget is 1500 to 2000AUD but can increase to 2500 if needed.

I'm looking for a PC that can do all the new-ish games like CoD and open world type games and also to use as a recording tool for creating music.

I would prefer, but not strictly, a AM5 chipset for the mobo and CPU but the GPU doesn't need to be anything specific.

I couldn't care less about RGB just as long as it gets the job done. Like a workhorse.

I would also prefer to later on in a few years maybe to just buy upgrades to keep the PC up-to-date.

Cheers 🍻

Ryzen 9000 launches on the 31st, so I would not be buying anything right now. Here is something, though, to get you started, and CPU can be decided on after launch. I threw one it as a placeholder.
