Do you need an OS?
[QUOTE=FINLEY;24153447]Do you need an OS?[/QUOTE] Yes, I am seeing if I can get a windows 7 64-Bit system
Do you have a website we could use?
[QUOTE=ghostofme;24157321]Do you have a website we could use?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately no, I'm new at this :frown: I need stores around the Brisbane area though
Well 800 AUD is around £460, so here's a build to give you a guidline of what you should get: [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/a387a052a5e34aff88e31952ea9de0e5[/url]

Could you also tell me how good the games would perform too please? Thanks
That will max pretty much any game at that resolution :v:
[QUOTE=thf;24180941]That will max pretty much any game at that resolution :v:[/QUOTE] So I should buy the computer, putting :v: to me was if you were up to something. Please help me out :frown:
Sorry, I overuse that smiley
What is that CPU? A Pentium?
At 1280x800 you could max almost anything pretty much with a 5770.
[QUOTE=anikilol;24186496]At 1280x800 you could max almost anything pretty much with a 5770.[/QUOTE] I'm probably going to get a fairly decent monitor so if there could be any cards that I could max out at a high resolution which is cheap. Forgot to include this in the OP that I don't want a keyboard or mouse because I have that gear already.
i live on the gold coast, online stores are usually cheaper. [url]www.pccasegear.com[/url] and [url]www.umart.com.au[/url] are alright stores.
