Yes because a pc store will happily build you a pc from parts bought elsewhere and still give you a warranty 9_9

If this was an office PC, single-channel RAM is fine for cost savings.

But OP specifically said gaming PC.

Ignore him, thats a terrible parts list (single-channel RAM, terrible & small SSD as well as questionable PSU)

 

You could build the PC yourself and save some money tbh.

I still think the SSD is meh, but I guess it will do for now

And 8GB RAM is cutting it fine these days

I would take the Sapphire Nitro+ for a better cooler but I guess your merchant doesn't have it?

PSU isn't the best but then you Australians really get the short-end of it there for prices, it will do for now but if you could take the Corsair CX it would be better.

 

Other than that I'm ok with the rest of the parts.

nitro wouldnt provide to much increase in performance ??? (shipping prices add up a bit)

so i could ask them to custom build a pc ???

Any pc store should be able to build you a pc but you would have to buy the parts from them to get a full system warranty. So for example if you bought online from somewhere like pccasegear you should be able to choose the parts and ask them to build it for you.
