Hey, I have been wanting to build my first PC for a while now and my laptop finally died so I think it's about time. However my PC building skills are 0, this will be the first one just wanting some help/feedback with it.

 

Wanting to note I'd like all parts bought from 1 place as it makes it easier and quicker for me. The primary use is for gaming however, University work will be done on it too. 

 

Budget: $2000 AUD (excluding mouse, keyboard, monitor, OS)

CPU:  Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($428.00 @ Umart)

GPU:  MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB GAMING X Video Card  ($425.00 @ Umart)

Motherboard:  MSI - Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($229.00 @ Umart) 

RAM: Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($219.00 @ Umart)

Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($118.00 @ Umart) 

Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive 

Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($155.00 @ Umart)

Total: $1574

 

Need help with CPU cooler, case, other parts I'm missing. As well as if there are better parts for my buck.

Monitor Resolution/refresh rate?

Should most likely buy the far better value parts below, which are still perfectly fine for 1080p 60hz gaming, RX 580s might be in the price range as well.

And is the price you gave in AUD? Or is that USD?

Why would you want to spend more money for the same performance? The 1060 and RX 580 have the same performance on average but the 1060 looks like it's $50-100 more than the cheaper 580s with decent coolers? The RX 570 has like 90% of the performance of those 2.

Also the RX 570 and RX 580 come with 2 free games right now depending on region/retailer, Resident Evil 2 Remake, and DMC5(or the division 2 I guess..)

The RX 570 on this retailer in your region comes with the 2 free games, just gotta shop around

The RX 580 4GB here at $249 also comes with the free games
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/Graphics-Cards/AMD/68919-GV-RX580GAMING-4GD

While the cheapest 1060 6GB Dual Fan card is $361, seems like an easy choice to me.

Why not just get a $600 1070ti that has most of the 2070's gaming performance with a 3 minute OC?

Really didn't think it was a possible to fit a RTX2070 in the $2000AUD bracket.... I'll have to look into this :) thankyou
