1355242 2013-10-07 04:56:00 Hi, I am looking to buy a gaming pc or build one through 2moro & it. However I need some advice on which cpu, video card etc to get.
My budget is roughly $1400 NZD, I am wanting to play the upcoming next gen games like battlefield 4 and others.

I also dont need a monitor or mouse etc in that price range.

Thank you for your time!
Blake :)

Does that mean the previous advice was no good?

1355248 2013-10-07 07:33:00 Power supply below minimum spec for a reference 760 let alone an OC one, no brand given for HDD, PSU or GPU, no SSD, and why a USB wifi N adapter? The FX8350 is OK, but for gaming it falls behind even the previous gen of i5s. Do you need a wifi adapter with it? inphinity (7274)

Hi thanks for your feedback.

I wanted a wireless card with it because im not near the modem and it cant be moved. Which CPU would you recommend over the FX8350?

Blake That'll do it :D

Re inphinity's comment ---- looking at the site mentioned in the first post, the PSU is FSP RA-450S & HDD either Western Digital or Seagate.
