Question

I need help on what parts i should use for a gaming pc???

by Nicholas Galati | September 27, 2015 3:41 AM PDT

ok I'm starting to think about building a pc, one powerful enough to play any game on full HD without struggling! so should i go AMD or Intel, what graphics card, how much memory? should i go water cooled? also if you can suggest exact part that would be awesome!!! just trying to gauge how much it will cost! realistically id like it to stay under $1500 AUD (around $1000 us, not including monitor and keyboard etc.)

thanks heaps! i can add more info, just ask! Happy
