So i went to the PC store today and basically ordered these parts, however i am still waiting for the store to get some stock of the R9 290 windforce edition. So as it stands anything on this list of parts i can change so i want to know whether you guy's think i should change anything.

PS: Please note that the GPU listed on my parts list is actually a gigabyte non reference cooler one, but i couldn't find it on pc part picker. And also please note i'm open to suggestions on whether the mouse and keyboard i chose were good options, i also chose a razer mouse pad one of those really long ones that you sit you keyboard on.

Awesome build , would love to see a build log of some sort.

[WoodenMarker]

It looks fine. Peripherals aren't my taste but I'm just saying..

[SirRoderick]

I have no problems with any of that. I personally prefer the Corsair K70 as a keyboard though. Mechanical switches in several flavours, great media keys and solid construction, also personally feel it looks better.

It could be awhile, the store said that it would take atleast 2 weeks to get the gpu in stock It's still not a 100 percent guarantee i'll get one

I guess i just wanted it to match my mouse, not to mention it's cheaper.. so there's that.

It's not a bad keyboard so don't be put off or anything, but the K70 is a better board to me. Matching your stuff is a valid concern though.

I got the same keyboard myself and there is nothing to worry about. So nothing to worry about if you like/need blue switches, likes the looks and want to spend that sort of money on a keyboard

Thanks for the reassurance   

So far all i'm hearing is that this is a pretty solid build, so i can't wait to build it.

Just a heads up, Gigabyte recalled all of there 290/290x windforce cards as there was a flaw with the cooler. So they might be out of stock for a while.

....Crap.  The Windforce 290 is the only non reference 290 the store has listed. They don't know when they're getting other non reference cards...

then go Nvidia if you can't wait >_<

Cyrpto mining hasn't affected Australian prices quite like it has US prices. Amd is still far and away better performance per dollar but hey if Nvidia starts lowering prices and starts being more competitive when it comes to the price to performance ratio, then i'll buy a Nvidia card.

I think you skimped a bit on the CPU cooler personally. There's loads of options besides the Hyper 212 EVO that perform a bit better.

Also..

I was wondering why they didn't message me back when I asked about whether or not they were recalling these. I was pissed that you wouldn't know whether or not you'd get a revised one. Did the original articles state that this was happening? I totally missed it I guess. If not, where did you get the info?

The CPU cooler isn't a big deal to me, I just wouldn't pair it with my favorite Intel processor (second would be the 4930k!). Also, I feel like you're overpaying for your power supply. Are you sure you can't find a cheaper Corsair or EVGA fully modular one? Just my preference, maybe.

Edit: Totally apologize for undermining location..

Build looks fine overall, just try to get better deals where you can if you can as with any build .

here in South Africa you can more often than not find Nvidia for cheaper than their amd counterparts because AMD's prices have been crazy for quite some time now. (GPUs that is)

I wasn't planing on any super extreme overclocking, just a mild overclock to try and eek out more performance. From what i see of the builds here the evo is a very popular cooler in that regard i really don't think i skimped on the cooler, i think i paid what was expected for a system that's somewhat focused on price to performance.

Everyone underestimates the unfairness of Australian prices. The sad truth is there are no better deals.

Don't worry. I live in a part of the U.S. where they sell expensive, crap internet. I probably pay more than you do for equivalent/lower grade internet. They advertise 10mb/s down and nonexistant upload like it's gonna give you 400 more fps at ultra settings on games and download 30gb files in under 10 minutes.

EVO is great for it's price, luckily. I think Cooler Master's GeminII looks better and is only slightly more expensive here, but it probably doesn't cool as well due to the heatsink. Either way, if you have a camera and think it'll be worth it, I don't think people would mind you putting up a build log for this computer .

I actually have somewhat decent Internet speed for my area, especially by Australian standards though they are still laughable to a lot of people. 18.05 Mbps down   0.87 Mbps up.

I'm very much contemplating doing a build log, i figure it's the least i could do by showing you guy's the finished product, considering you basically helped me build it.

Out of curiosity, how much do you pay for your internet? I'm paying $50 for 15d/1u but the deal is about to expire (3 days) and I'll have to pay $60. Going to get Comcast if it's available here, which is still a ripoff, but it's better internet at a cheaper price. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I pay more for less despite you being in AU. It's crazy.

To be honest i'm not the one who pays the Internet bill (20 year old still living at home) but i know that my mum has a bundle deal with telstra so her mobile, home phone and Internet are all in one bill. But i will say this, i'd still be willing to bet that you pay less for your Internet. Everything is more expensive here.
