If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for?

1080p, 80+ FPS, high/ultra settings.

2500 AUD approx. Could go a little higher.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Main concerns:

  • Is the mobo OK to fit in the case?

  • Is the 1060 good enough for the level of gaming I am looking for?

  • Any notable incompatibilities?

Thanks in advance :)
