Hi everyone I have just completed my first build and I have to say it was rather addictive. It was a rather middle of the range build (1200 AUD) but it gets the job done.

Was wondering what YOU would buy and build with a budget of say 1500 AUD* (little more or little less up to you) as I am wanting to do a second build in the not to distant future. I prefer Intel and Nvidia myself but am open to AMD aswell.

Here is a link to my current build

*NOTE peripherals are not required in the price but MUST be in Australian Dollars

TIA

Looking at it now, I could probably swap out the mobo for a cheaper one and upgrade the GFX to a 970
