  1. @Mightye777 As far as the cooler master cases go... some of the other people helping you out might think I'm wrong for saying this... I just like to start people with easy yet powerful (for the budget) parts for building purposes especially when it's for first time builders. The first time I build a PC... I was using a case that wasn't an i series case from NZXT, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out the front panel connector pins - what order they went in, etc. there were like no tutorials online, so I ditched that other case and got the H500i the H10i (newer one but has the same features). There was a hole plug for the front panel pins... something that took me about 4 hours to figure out on my first build (to be honest I still am pretty bad at doing it today) took me like 1/5 a second to just plug in... because it only goes on one way. I know this is a really long answer to your question but as far as building goes I love the H510i and i series cases from NZXT not only because of the front panel connector plug, but because of the pre mounted standoffs and the RGB is pretty solid too. But feel free to get whatever you want I checked the Australian Amazon and it is more expensive. Your case could have the connector for the front panel but I'd double check. Hope this helps.
  2. @Mightye777 I had no idea that the prices were higher in Australia... I thought they would be around the same price both here in America and Australia... that's my bad sorry about that. But I'm glad that you found a build in your price range!
  3. @P0tat0 Pcpartpicker.com is just great for compatibility and general pricing. If you look on Amazon the prices might be a few dollars lower or higher depending on the part. RAM is pretty cheap right now, and M.2 drives seem like they have dropped in price, while GPU's are still kind of expensive... nothing new there, but CPU's seem to have gone down so with cyber monday coming up soon hopefully prices will dip a bit... I need a couple of new GPU's for my streaming, and gaming rig. While you can get parts from other places, honestly I just do Amazon, because Prime shipping is just the best thing invented since sliced bread. -LOL Happy building!
  4. Ok @Mightye777 it took some serious budgeting and time but I have a solid build for you. Here are the links to the parts on Amazon: PSU: https://amzn.to/2L825Z3, Storage M.2: https://amzn.to/2XWYfr4, CPU: https://amzn.to/2Pa7RuH, GPU: https://amzn.to/2DskpI3, Case: https://amzn.to/2qXjbC9, Motherboard: https://amzn.to/2qOHVN1, and RAM: https://amzn.to/2rA7Yrh. I really tried to budget as much as I possibly could. If you need something cheaper, instead of the Ryzen 5 2600x use this CPU and it should be closer to your budget: https://amzn.to/2L8P2GR. With this CPU the Ryzen 3 2200G you are looking at a total build price from Amazon of $730 dollars without tax. With the Ryzen 5 2600x the total price is: $772. I would go with the Ryzen 5 2600 X but that's just me - it's a few bucks more, and is really just a nice processor. RGB is already in the case: Here are the part's lists the first: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TallTechGuy/saved/BVpf99 and has the Ryzen 5 CPU, and the second has the Ryzen 3 CPU: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sJHFgJ! -Hope this helps and happy gaming!! Reply or message me if you have any questions - with cyber monday coming up these prices may go down.
  5. Your good @P0tat0... the thing about PC's is that they are so customizable so everyone has different opinions on everything, I typically choose parts that are just easy to build with. There is a PC out there that is buck for buck the best performance, I just like to make PC's easy and make them look good. Just slipping a motherboard into a case screwing it down, and plugging a few things in is great. Also with the case the 510i... from NZXT there is a whole plug for the front panel connectors that you just plug into your motherboard which honestly was the hardest part of the build for my first time building a PC a while back because I didn't build in a case like that. There's like no tutorials on how to plug them in, it's the biggest pain in the butt. Not to mention those little freaking pins are sharp - going under your nail hurts. Sometimes there is a price premium for those kinds of parts, but I'd be willing to pay a few more bucks for something that just fits together really nicely you know?
  6. I haven't forgotten about you... just had to charge my laptop.
  7. ASUS card is 305mm, and the Gigabyte card is 286mm a 2 slot card. ASUS card is a 2 slot card but I swear... it looks like a 3 and feels like a three, those fans and heatsink are thickkk.
  8. Hmm... normally I'd try to recommend other options, but with your other pieces of hardware being more than a few years old... I'm pretty sure that your quad-core CPU just can't handle the full power of a 2080 Super card. However... I know that buying pretty much a whole new system can be really expensive... I would check online on other platforms and the nvidia forums if there was a driver patch today for the 2080 super... however eventually I think that in the near future, making an upgrade to a higher clock and core count chip preferably with 8 cores, or if you aren't streaming on the same pc 6 cores is fine. You don't have to get an i9 9900k (latest) from intel, but the i7-9700k processor would be good or even the 9600k would be good too. either of those paired with the 2080 super you already have should kick some major butt. I really wish I could help find a software fix for you! - But I hope this helps.
  9. @lee32uk I chose the B450-F because of the pre-mounted io shield... you are right... the X470 is better, but at least for first time builders go... having the pre-mounted io shield is just way nicer to build with... but hey if you are looking for performance go with the x470 pro, I mean it's a slight difference but it's just my personal preference. I've just had a few bent io shields that have arrived at my doorstep that make me want to recommend a pre-mounted io shield vs the two separate.
  10. Ok great... that makes things a whole lot simpler and hopefully cheaper.
  11. Really quick are you going to be doing any streaming? Or is it just a gaming PC? I'll put together two part lists... the first will be the best overall performance to budget PC with the newest generation of parts and the second will have parts that are just 1 generation older... you can get more bang for your buck with older parts (still nice parts though).
  12. Ok. I got you... I'm gonna need a few minutes to put together a part list.
  13. @Mightye777 What's your total budget... because just looking at what you have for parts... those integrated graphics are going to kill your performance and temps. I have a build that is a bit over your original build, that would be far better for gaming.
  14. HEY BEST BUY DOES PRICE MATCHES AND I JUST CHECKED ON AMAZON... THE SAME PC IS 600 ON AMAZON! See if they will do a price match for you at best buy... you can save a bit more money! They are really particular about that kind of stuff but it's worth a shot. There are several on Amazon... if you can show that it can be shipped and sold from amazon they will drop the price to match it on Amazon.
  15. @P0tat0 I got you... this is what I would build out for in that budget. The prices will change depending on where you get them. I got all my stuff on Amazon and it was cheaper than what the estimated price was of my build. Originally my personal build was like 2300 but getting everything on Amazon dropped the price by like $400.
