    Are there any parts that you can re-use from an old pc? I guess the max budget is 1k aud and needs to include a monitor? You need an intel cpu setup for gaming and a better psu for sure.

    The following would be the base for an i5k/Z97 setup. But as you can see it comes close to your budget without a monitor. To get a monitor in there under 1k you need to drop to an i3 setup.

    btw this system will need around 350W max with everything at full load.

    Sort of. It will work with it but you can not overclock that i5k with a H97 board. You need a Z97 board to have the ability to overclock. Otherwise there is no point getting a "k" cpu. You are better off getting a pci-express wifi card.

    This is the cheapest Z97 Board with wifi but its mini form factor.

    For an itx setup you will have to go with ASRock Z97 PRO4 + wifi card
