1313843 2012-11-21 12:09:00 Hi I am 17 and have around 2.3k NZD to spend on a Gaming Desktop. This is my first build so all help is needed! and largely appreciated!

This is not including a monitor,mouse,keyboard or headset D: need help on these also. kinda wanting to get the whole lot at once eh :D..

I have some idea of what to get but with 2.3k prices fluctuating and me being noob at this? it is all rather stressful! . also I hope to buy every item from http://www.playtech.co.nz/

1313844 2012-11-21 12:26:00 oh god can someone please change the colour of that text. also I personally feel thay there are websites that offer much better deals then playtech, my favorite being computer lounge who also charge no shipping within NZ.

What do you have in mind... is it for gaming, video editing or what? Them im sure the people here will be happy in finding you the best bang for your buck.

1313846 2012-11-21 18:49:00 www.playtech.co.nz and upgrade to a 660Ti. If you don't need the OS, drop that out and bump up the RAM to 16GB, CPU to 3570, and drivespace to 2TB or something. inphinity (7274)

If you stretch it another $50 or so you can get the 3770k.

1313849 2012-11-21 22:46:00 16gb of ram seems unecesary, out of my 8 gigs it seems that hardly ever is more than 4 used and aslong as you have a decent gpu with enough vram then it wont use preferably any of the other ram. Slankydudl (16687)
1313850 2012-11-21 23:26:00 Get something like this www.computerlounge.co.nz already built. Doesn't include monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.

1313851 2012-11-22 01:40:00 Gamers often need something portable. The following is a very good Desktop PC but only 36% the size of a normal mid-Tower:

- Silverstone SG08 case, which incl 600W psu; 222W x 190H x 351D
- GA-Z77N-WIFI motherboard (mini-ITX)
- i5-3570k
- 8 GB ram
- HD 7750 video card (but you might go better. The case takes full size cards)
- 120 GB SSD Intel 330
- 2 TB HDD WD 'Green' 3.5"
- 20 GB SSD cache for the 2 TB
- slim ODD
- Win7pro64

It's what I am considering. (For space reaons, not gaming)
