Hi guys

i have been playing games for ever on my old desktop but after discovering steam i have been disappointed with the power of the machine.

I have a budget of 1400AUD (Australian Dollars) give or take maybe 45.

I was just wondering if this build is efficient in its budgeting of components and choice of components

Get R5 instead of i5, also worth looking at the 580 instead. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

I suggest getting a 1TB HDD for game storage and a 120GB or 250GB SSD for a boot drive.

Hey theboah, I'm from Australia too, and if you're looking for the cheapest price, do give staticice.com a check.

MSY normally has the cheapest stuff in my opinion :)
