So i am planning on building my first pc early to mid next year. I have a budget of $2500 aud. The build will be white and black color scheme. It will be used for gaming and video editing.

Here's what i have so far: https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=377474&action=wish_lists

The reason i have the 60hz gaming monitor and the ips one is because i have a ps4 that i would like to use on it.

Nice, very nice.

 

Curious as to why you want 2 different types of monitors, I know you said you were going to use a PS4 on it, but which one?

Ah, will you have both the monitors on the same desk? or are you putting the one for your PS4 somewhere else?

This EVGA psu is cheaper (and better)

Cheaper 256GB SSD. The Crucial MX100 is a good SSD.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro would give you better airflow
