$500-$600 Pre-Built Desktop Recommendation

I'm asking this on behalf of a friend. She's located in Sydney.

Per above, she's after a pre-built desktop setup. She's not confident building one herself hence that's out of the question. Preferably somewhere with a physical store in Sydney, but having it delivered from interstate is fine too.

Budget is $500-600 excluding OS and peripherals. Happy to spend a bit more if necessary.

Desktop will be mainly used for basic stuff like web surfing, Microsoft Office, watching movies etc. It will be used for some light gaming as well. She plays games such as Don't Starve Together, Borderlands 2, Left 4 Dead etc. So, nothing really graphics intensive.

Recommendations/links would be kindly appreciated!

  • I'd say grab an i5/8gb/1tb system as part of the eBay sale, should be within that range. From there she could always spend another $200 or so for a dedicated Graphics Card (i5 has inbuilt graphics already but not great).

    I'm on mobile right now so it's hard to link you, just search 'i5 8gb' in the eBay sale, price low to high, pc byte should be 1 of the first hits :)

      • Need more ram pretty quickly though

        • Yeap. but ddr4 RAM is so cheap. Scotty posted one the other day…

        • @scrimshaw:

          Yeah I know :P or even the 8gb upgrade is $39 ($31.20 after discount)

      Not saying impossible, just hard :P

    • Sorry for going off-topic. With those "Generic 550W Power Supply" — what kind of video card can you get later without upgrading the PSU?
