Buying a new pc/laptop in australia

[Khalts]

Hello ownedcor !

I just moved to australia recently and im looking to buy a pc or a notebook...

some things to consider:

-my budget for this ranges up to 1500aud (i can sacrifice a little extra for value if its real)
- laptop vs desktop wise, i have to bring it back to brazil in one year when im going back...
-i live in melbourne i have access to a lot of dif. Stores but i have no problem with waiting for a delivery if thats necessary
-i really wanted it to last a few years ! I mainly play wow, dota2, ffxiv on a regular basis and test most of the new releases !

Any aussies out there or just people that live here willing to help ?

EDIT: preparing for black desert

pccasegear.com is probly your best bet for a pre-build machine but it would also be cheaper to buy all the parts and assemble them yourself. You wont get a very good Laptop for that kind of $ in Australia though. We get ripped off in Aus when buying electronics.

Best of Luck

How much would a good laptop cost me and how "good" does it looks like hardware wise... ?

Look into PCCaseGear or lower end MSI laptops from the MSI website, they will still run decent but with laptops they get outdated too quickly.
I can put together a list of parts for you to order and put together if need be.
Or you could look at MWave, they build systems for the customer for a price and from past experience, they are pretty good.

Well said. Bought a high end laptop a few years ago - only lasted one year.

Laptops are just not for gaming, even if you buy the best laptop right now, it'll last a year at the most.

This one would be a better build tbh overclock capable Intel Core i5-4690K, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970, Corsair 350D Window - System Build - PCPartPicker Australia As everyone said laptops just don't get the life of a desktop

As far as assembly these days building a pc is like lego's for adults lol

Seems pretty solid all im not sure are the mb and the power supply, never seem those brands in brazil before, more worried at the power one can someone stand for it ?

[9ballfreak]

ASrock makes a good mobo the power supply is not the one i thought i chose replace it with Intel Core i5-4690K, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970, Corsair 350D Window - System Build - PCPartPicker Australia

Estimated Wattage
337W -500 will be plenty

1600 ram with that Video card ? :/
If motherboard can handle atleast 2133 without OC you can go for 2133 mhz rams

Ram speed is so overated for gaming the ram that counts is whats ON YOUR VID CARD

Do you think that i5 would cut it or is it worth to spend a bit more for a good i7 to go with that setup?

i5 is plenty for gaming if doing video editing or the like go i7
