Hey Thornagol, just looking at those two PC's you posted. Can I buy those built from that site or do I have to buy them and build the PC myself? as I've never put a PC together before, I'm afraid of wiring the wrong components together and frying the parts. Does that site sell the parts or do I have to use another?
What is your budget? I can put together a build on PCPartPicker for you.
My budget would be about $800 AUD. Best I can do.
Also, how do you guys learn so much about computers and parts? all of this talk about optical drives and GPU's, I've got no idea what this means. Has anyone got a good site that teaches all of this kind of terminology?
I'm contemplating whether to buy a custom gaming PC or a PS4/XBOX1 to play D3, but I also want to play other games such as the new DOOM, Starcraft 2, Fifa, Fallout 4, Evolve, etc.
I'm trying to look at value for money in regards to performance, graphics, reliability, but not sure which system offers the best of the three. Could anyone help advise me as I'm not the most tech savvy.

Thanks Xd, and I've got a monitor so the money is just for the tower. Will check out that subreddit
