Tips for a budget-friendly yet reliable desktop PC
You're starting from scratch with a desktop build. That's a great goal! For a budget of around 1500–2000 AUD, you'll want to focus on value components and reliable parts. Look into budget-friendly components like a decent CPU, an efficient GPU (like an RTX 3060 or lower), and a solid motherboard. For storage, consider a 256GB NVMe SSD. If you're planning streaming or rendering, a good webcam and decent microphone are essential. For gaming, a mid-range GPU should suffice. Don't forget to check reviews for reliability and longevity. Good luck with your project!
