Probably over your budget ~$185 aussie, but excellent value and quality. They are open back though if you need closed/isolating ones they may not be right for you.

It may have been decent back in like 2010...but times have moved on, significantly it seems. Current setup: i7-950 12GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 5700 Saffire 1GB graphics card 250GB SSD boot drive Several WD cavier green and black data drives Think I have either a 750 or 850W power supply Noctura NH-D14 CPU cooler It's crazy looking at the prices I could get a tiny little 1TB nVME SSD for now! And Also my graphics card doesn't even meet min spec to run my work software haha! Min specs for work software package that my entire career now revolves around is: Processor 64bit Intel or AMD CPU i7 series equivalent or higher Operating System Microsoft Windows® 7, 8 or 10 x64bit RAM 16 GB RAM or more1 Hard Disk 7200 rpm HDD or SSD 10 GB total disk space for installation 4 GB free disk space for swap files2 Graphics Card OpenGL 3.3 or later compliant dedicated video card 2GB Video RAM or more3 GeForce GTX or equivalent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, my motherboard and CPU probably need replacing as they're pretty old and tired, plus new RAM is so cheap for lots of it! I should be able to claim depreciation on tax if I buy it while I'm studying and working too, which I guess is my incentive to do it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I currently need to pay for my last two semmesters of uni and previous balance transfer...so probably SHOULDN'T upgrade my PC....cool dream, though haha.

Nothin wrong with waiting though mate. Perhaps you can just do the gpu now and psu if needed. That'll be less than a grand and that way you can start using your pc for work stuff even if the cpu is a bit old. Just a suggestion anyhow.
