What pc should I purchase?

[BlackenedWhite]

Hi all,
I am not new to pc gaming, but I would now like to get a more serious gaming computer. I live in Australia and have a budget of $1000 AUD. Preferably I would not like to purchase parts. I would rather just have the computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse and just put it all together, but I don't mind that much. I would appreciate it if someone could suggest some good components for me.:biggrin:

Put it together yourself don't be lazy. It's much more satisfying building your own and it's enjoyable.

You know what's going in there and that it's not going to be cheap crapola.

Wait, you don't want to purchase them separately to assemble or you just don't want to pick them out?

PCCaseGear offer systems they have set up.

Or they can assemble your custom picked parts for you.

So you need the machine itself, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and OS for $1000 AUD? Luckily, the days of Aussies getting raped on PC component prices is pretty much over:

i3 3220 $123
ASRock B75M-DGS $60
G.Skill DDR3 1333 8GB $35
GTX 660 $249
WD Blue 500GB $62
Samsung DVD Burner $19
Antec VP550 $65
Bifenix Merc Alpha $49
Logitech KB/mouse combo $15 - note this isn't the world's greatest gaming mouse
LG 21.5" 1080P $125
Windows 7 HP OEM $95
Assembly $99
Total: $996
