Help with gaming rig

[Brontosaurus]

Good day everyone

My current PC is really old, and it's time for a fresh start.

So, I'm looking into buying a new gaming rig for approx R18k - this will include the OS and a new monitor, but I have no idea where to even look or what i fairly decent these days.

I do not want to be buying different components from all over the place, so the whole rig will need to come from one place. Also, I have neither the time nor the patience to build it myself.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Buy all the parts from one dealer let them assemble everything.
If you're in Cape town use http://www.wootware.co.za/.
If you're in Jozi use http://www.evetech.co.za/.

Hmm,
You can also give these guys a try:
http://www.buytes.co.za/

They sell components, but If you give them a call i'm sure they can assemble the machine for you
Very helpful guys, bought a few components from them recently.

replace the ssd with a M.2 HHD
and upgrade the GPU of the R14k sweet spot system to a Galax GeForce GTX 970

Wootware will build & stress test a PC for R300, for R500 they will build/test & install windows for you.

When you say approx R18k what would the max be? I can put together a parts list on wootware for you if you'd like but would prefer it if you told me which display/screen to use.

Also do you have any existing hard drives that you could use in the new pc?
Is a SSD a must have now or something you can add later?
