PC - Build my computer - View Post

Hi all,

I have done this before and gotten some wonderful feedback and computing advice from the VGC community.

We're about to purchase a new computer.  Budget is $1500AUD and we're using the following website:

http://shop.techbuy.com.au/custom-pc.asp

If you have a moment, some PC knowledge and some time I'd greatly appreciate your help.  Go through the customizable options, fiddle around and give me your recommendation.

Some limitations and necessary inclusions:

- Must include Win 7 (64 Bit)

- Must include Wireless networking option/internal memory card reader

- Must include Office Home and Student

- Must include 1TB HDD 7200rpm

- No monitor is required

 

If you know of other great deals easily accessible within Eastern Australia (online or brick and mortar) I am happy to listen, but we've experience with the website and find them to be reliable and consistent. 

I am far from a PC expert and in particular know little about AMD systems.  I would need as much power as possible, am keen to have plenty of fast RAM, play games at the best quality possible and would love a fast CPU for some video editing and data-compiling.  Having said that, I know that once the software etc comes out of it I am playing with around $1100AUD which doesn't buy the best of the best.


All help would be appreciated

Edit:  I know AMD systems tend to be cheaper.  If you have ideas for a cheaper system that included one of the monitors offered on the site I could go to $1600AUD.  Current available monitor is 22inch Dell with (I think) 1440*900 resolution.
