I know you said you only need a 500GB HDD, but it makes more sense to get 1TB.  The fixed cost to produce SSDs and HDDs are fairly consistent, and the amount of money to double the storage is $10-$20.  It makes sense to go ahead and buy 120GB SSD or 1TB HDD.  Also, these devices run better when they are not close to their max capacity.  SSDs especially, but it is also true of HDDs.

Buy a less expensive case if it means getting better components.

a g3258 won't be great for cpu-heavy emulators, would it?

Well, probably not seeing as Australia's prices are greatly inflated. You can upgrade later on

Thats how much motherboards cost in AUS.  The next step down is the MSI Z97 PC Mate for $15 less and the problem with that motherboard is that if he ever wanted to crossfire(which is a logical upgrade path given his current GPU) he would be bottlenecked by the PCI 3.0 vs. PCI 2.0.  I am not positive that this is an issue, but I have heard it off hand from someone.  Not sure if they were reputable or not.  So to eliminate any guessing, I opted for the $15 more expensive motherboard to avoid any problems that may arise later.

 

If Xfire is something he would never want to consider, then he could drop down to an ASRock Anniversary edition Z97 for $122.

That's very true. I'm getting the PC Mate because I don't believe in SLI/Crossfire ATM ;)
