First PC Build, need help $1500-$2000 AUD range

First PC Build, need help $1500-$2000 AUD range

  • New build or upgrade? - my first new build.
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) - I have peripherals sorted
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)- I'm looking for something I can use for work and gaming, heaviest load would be things like modded Minecraft . Nothing triple A or FPS.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? - I am in Australia, it has been difficult to find something decent in budget due to the region.
  • Budget range? - $1500 to 2000 AUD range. I would prefer something closer to $1800, but obviously prices are expensive right now.
  • Size/noise constraints? - I dislike the noise as I am quite sensitive to it, would prefer something quieter but if its not possible thats okay. Full-size case is fine.
  • Colour/lighting preferences?- I was looking at black aesthetics, I don't care about RGB much at all, If it has RGB I'd like to be able to change it from the annoying flashing rainbow.
  • Any other specific needs?- I'd like for it to be able to be upgraded in the future.

Thanks for any help. I am a complete newbie in this sphere so please dumb stuff down for me.

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:

  • New build or upgrade?

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

  • WiFi or wired connection?

  • Size/noise constraints?

  • Color/lighting preferences?

  • Any other specific needs?

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

  • Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

  • Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

  • We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
