Hi guys,
looking to build myself a decent gaming rig for Christmas - just wanted to run them through you guys to get your opinion of it as well (and if its the best bang-for-the-buck).
My budget for this build is A$ 1800 (+ around 50-100 if required).
Here goes -
The total comes to $1820 for the above. This rig is mainly for gaming (COD, BF 4 etc) - Any suggestions of swapping parts for better band-for-buck?
Thanks in advance
