Hey guys
Decides I need to see the grass on the other side of the fence
Can anyone comment on this article for a cheap gaming PC capable of running Fallout 4
http://www.forbes.com/sites/antonyleather/2015/11/13/how-to-…
I have done some homework and can build this for approx. $900 in Australia
I know my way around a PC and I'm more than comfortable building a custom rig but I have been out of the PC gaming scene for too long and feel a little lost
Just after a box.
Thanks all

Total $1176
Staticice on all above comes to $1199
Anyone have any comments on this build?
Link to that particular motherboard? Can't find that anywhere. You need an ssd, makes a world of difference. Ensure that mobo is suitable for ddr3 ram, you may need ddr4.
Ahhh H170, the N170 put me off in the OP. Looks like ddr3 will be fine then. Possibly look at a 960 rather than the 750.
I absolutely agree on the SSD. Also maybe that graphics card is a bit old and possibly underpowered. A 960 should be a lot better, I think. I got a 970 when it was on a 20% off deal on ebay and recommend that if you wait for a similar deal.
The rest looks fine. Maybe 1600MHz RAM will be a bit cheaper, and will make barely any difference. I didn't bother with a DVD drive as I have an external one, and barely use it. Depends on your needs. Hope you're not paying for that warranty as the consumer warranty should cover everything.
Thanks for the advice
I have decides to up my budget a little….well alot but this is what I have come up with
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/RCksTW
Do I need additional case fans for something like this?
And do I really need 16GB ram or should I scale this back
may as well get this then http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/k4FrK8
you can get the r9 fury delivered for $750 from newegg, http://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8…
that would make the build the same price with a better graphics card and power supply, im a big fan of new tech, the r9 fury mmmm
CPU and motherboard changed, price per performance much improved :)
Thanks!! Do i need cpu fans on top of this?
The R9 fury is almost double the cost of the R9 390. Is the extra spend worth it?
Also should I stay with 16gh ram
Stock fans are fine, but it's up to you, if im building a gaming PC im going to put most of my funds towards the graphics card.
Do you still need any advice ? how much budget can you bump up to? when do you plan to upgrade it?
Any advise is welcome
Look at about 1500 now. Would like to purchase in the next few weeks
