Hey guys,

So I've decided to build a new PC from scratch here in Brisbane, Aus.
However I have one problem. Aside from opening a PC to install a graphics card I have no idea what I need in a PC.

So I ask you, friends, to help me on my quest to build a PC so that I may rejoin my fellow Brotoss's in exploiting the latest patches.

I'm looking for the budget to be under $2000, and for the computer to be able to run current gen games. I prefer the cost to be $1,500 ± $350
