Hey guys, its ray here am looking to purchase a PC build from PCCG( PCCaseGear). My budjet is $2000 AUD (leaving out the peripherals) and the build should last me for quite a few years and id like some advice on the build.

 

Link to build : http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411&products_id=30013&zenid=e2ba20ab7669a20eb63ed6e48129ad6f

 

Budget : $2000 for PC, $500 for peripherals (In AUD)

Aim: For gaming(with recording and live streaming) and video editing and rendering.

Programs: League of Legends, TERA, CSGO, Minecraft, Sony Vegas Pro 13. (More in the future :D)

Monitors: Single 27inch :D

Peripherals: I need a keyboard and headset (Yet to be decided, advice appreciated :D)

Upgrading: Moving from laptop to desktop :)

 

Thanks in advance! I can provide more information on request!

Are you looking for a 1080 27" or 1440 27"? Cause the 1440 one is gonna wreck your peripherals budget haha.

I would suggest upgrading the mobo to a gaming 5 in case you want to SLI, a bigger SSD since 128 is tiny imo, and 8 more GB of ram since you're gonna be playing with sony vegas. :P

Keep in mind, the 1080 27" doesn't look as sharp if you're sitting close to it.

Hm, just realized it said all systems are pre-built and cannot be modified.

You should build it yourself. :o

That's fine by me! I was just following the red/black theme, haha, I was going to grab the STRIX but they ran out when I bought mine so I got the Gigabyte G1.

I would change the PSU to an EVGA G2 750W, it's fully modular and a better rated PSU. Plus it's 4 AUD cheaper. 

No SSD? :P

Woops! Haha thanks ill fix it up
