I know you didn't want i said, but you can get an exceptionally better pc if you build it yourself
I think Asus does build the best Pre built PCs.

If you have an old pc in your house, Watch a couple of youtube videos and see if You can disassemble and reassemble it. It isn't as hard as you think.
If you need help, @Doc Lives in Australia and I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out when You needed it.

The main problem with Pre built PCs is that they lack the Graphics. You'll end up having to pay for a new Card by the end of the year.

The first one has 2.9GHz 4GB of ram and 512MB GFX So you can pretty much count that out compared to the others

Why did you not pick this one as 1 of the 4?

lol my mom too i want to buy this because 10th January is my birthday :

Well too bad you're not going to invest a couple of hours of your time to learn to build a significantly better PC for the same money

Anyways, I'd recommend the the first link, doubt you would want to pick the Asus one too, as it has an i3 Processor

This, this and this. Regardless of what you may think, it's easy as fuck. Easy. As. Fuck. Also not the best vid, but Rose is adorable:



I would really recommend you save the money and not buy any of those PCs, their not meant for gaming (quite literally you won't be able to get anywhere near decent framerates in most current games, unless you're willing to play at very low resolutions and with very low settings). Also @Doc and @Sir Ragealot might know where you could either get better deals or perhaps a store which offers to build your custom PC once you chose the parts

Well we can list them for you if you wish, please just consider it: worth the little time it's going to take.

First off you need a motherboard, which is the big thing you stick everything on. Then you need a CPU that fits the motherboard, some ram and most likely a gfx card. As far as storage goes you get to choose between HDDs (standard, slower and larger) or SSDs (high-end, faster and smaller, hella costlier too). You'll need a PSU to power everything and a case to house everything. /easy

Mobo: look for a P67 board, that's the chipset Intel uses for most of it's consumer CPUs now. Gigabyte's GA-P67A-UD4 is an awesome board and it supports SLI or crossfire, if you will ever want to run multiple gfx cards in the future. (costs ~170 bucks)
CPU: if you want something awesome the i5 2500k is unlocked for all your OCing needs, so that if you ever feel the need to juice more power out of your PC, well, you will be able to (costs ~220 bucks)
RAM: any 1600MHz CL8 or even CL9 ram should suffice. Although CL8 (or lower) is better than CL9, I guess you could save heaps (2*4GB 1600MHz CL8 costs ~70 bucks)
GFX: Nvidia 560Ti, because I can't be arsed to support AMD's shitty software and lack of innovation any more (costs ~210 bucks)
HDD: Spinpoint F3 1TB, because SSDs aren't worth it and it's awesome (costs ~150 bucks)
SSD: alternatively, if you want something faster, you can get a 64GB Crucial m4 (costs ~120 bucks)
PSU: anything that can handle 700W and looks decent, e.g. something from Cooler Master would come about 80 bucks
Case: Fractal Design Core 3000, because it's epic even though it looks plain. (costs ~70 bucks)

About 900 bucks if you buy it in the US, dunno about Aussie prices. You could always lose the Spinpoint F3 HDD in favour of a Hitachi 500GB and practically shave off 70 bucks but lose some performance, similarly you could opt for a weaker cpu or gpu. Talk to @Doc or @Sir Ragealot about finding a decent store, I dunno anything about your options in Kangarooland.

Edit: I didn't add a DVD drive, because you simply don't need it, at least I don't. You can install Windows from a USB key easily and pretty much nobody watches movies from DVDs nowadays. So yeah, 20 bucks saved.

Bought a very similar build for a friend using almost the exact same parts, just drop off the K and the Ti off the CPU and GPU respectively and a h61 mobo on the cheap (no overclocking needed). It came in at around $750. Just waiting on parts now.

@L3G3ND_KILL3R Where do you live exactly? I can make a quick shopping cart and source out a place that can build it for you depending on your location.

The K can be lost on the CPU, but keep the Ti with the gpu, 560 Ti > 560 (14% more physical cores, it's not even the same card).

ah fuck i really want to build a computer but its so hard...... and on youtube i see some really sick looking pc that has a really bright light inside it? Whats that? is that just some light thing so show off??
and whats watercoolingg?

And BF3, and TF2 ... and it can't hurt to get the Ti, if you have the money.

Lights, fancy fans etc. can all be easily added but they don't really add much to performance. If you want a fancy case you can always switch the Core 3000 for something worse but more flashy And watercooling is, well, cooling stuff with water instead of air. Forget about it for now, you neither have the money, need nor expertise just yet to make it worth trying.

I would recommend getting a prebuild PC from PC stores instead of electronic stores like Harvey Norman. I would recommend something like this (I see u live in Australia)
Buy Custom Build PC Computer Online (Budget or Gaming Customise PC Sys

Mwave is only in Sydney though

If you dont want it, this is the best PC out of the four

I really want to build a pc but i dont know where to put this shit and that shit and that shit.
