As the title says, is http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=257669&action=wish_lists a good build for heavy gaming like Battlefield 4 and other intensive games on a single 1080p monitor at High-Ultra. I have no need for a monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset or OS. Thanks in advance.

It's fine but could be better for the money. Are you limited to only Pccasegear or are you open to other Aus shops?

760 for battlefield maxed out might be a stretch if you are planning on fps around 45 to 60 constantly. If you are not planning on overclocking you might aswell take it easy on the mobo aswell. There are other cheaper alternatives, that will work just fine for your use.

I once explained to my girlfriend what true love is. I said, "If you were a shit, I'd put you back in" and to this day, she is still my little shit.

The only thing i'm unsure about in this build is the mobo, what mobo would you recommend for this, if its cheaper i might go with a 770. And doesn't bf4 run 60fps on the 760 without AA (i personally don't care for AA) I also won't overclock much

Something along the lines of http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=24855&cPath=1019

Then again, compared to the others guys around here I am an idiot, so you might aswell wait for them to come running to your aid :)

If you are willing to spend some more you can upgrade the cooling of the GPU and CPU by adding something like a Corsair H55/H60 and NZXT Kraken G10 for the GPU and something like a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO for the CPU.

PCCG (Pc case gear) has the largest range of PC components in Australia. There is Msy (Looks dodgy but is good, PDF prices no effective site http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf)

 

but other than that the prices are 20-50% more expensive so yeah we only have 2 stores to buy components (MSY has brick and mortar stores and PCCG operates purely online with shipping or possible pickup.

 

Remember Australia is the ripoff nation, PCCG have some of  the best prices i Australia :(

Would that have enough fan headers?

Ikr, i'd rather be in america. I'd rather stick with Pccasegear but those are probs all available from pccasegear for the same price. Apart from that this might be the build i'll use, i'll wait for other opinions before making a choice.

I would also rather be in americ for hardware pricing , we're getting ripped of in europe too but not nearly as much as you guys in Australia.

I would not purchase from computer parts land, they are extremely dodgy from what I have been told. Mwave is ok, but is better if you purchase everything from PCCG as the shipping will be cheaper. 

 

AUD:USD ration was 1:1.1 and a 680 was still 200 AUD more expensive than the US. When the USD increases by 3% a 3970X rose by 100 dollars the day after the change. AUS the land of the technological ripoff. Check out the prices for Photoshop ect people buy airfares and back to go to the US to by a copy of the professional edition because it is so expansive.....

PCCG is the best, otherwise Australia post will charge you an arm and a leg for 1 item ect (They don't have free shipping in Australia)

Than i would seriously reccomend to get a GOOD cooling solution for your upcoming build. Are you willing to go a little above buget to upgrade the cooling overal , and if so by how much $?

I could go about $50 over. Or wait and get a h60 SE or h80i later on

Never had HUGE shipping bills from aus post on anything. And why are you telling me shipping isn't free in aus WHEN I'M IN AUS???

I can stand behind this. I don't know about Asrock mobos, haven't heard much of anything about them really.

I once explained to my girlfriend what true love is. I said, "If you were a shit, I'd put you back in" and to this day, she is still my little shit.
