1,800 Budget What should i get

[YEETMAN]

Hello there guys, i am a highschool student that finally got a job. I have been watching linus for close to a year now and i remembered that there was this forum. I have 1.8k budget in AUD, what should i get? I will mainly play games (rust), do some unity work and maybe get into streaming, my old laptop's hard drive died so i am running lubuntu on a 15gb usb. I was not able to find any proper videos that mainly aimed at hardware I don't care about overpriced led stuff i just care about the hardware. I will have one monitor planning on getting a AOC 144hz monitor.
Thanks and Have a Good Day.

You likely could choose a smaller graphics card, but this will play everything, even in 1440p ultra.

you have nearly $200 AUD left in the budget but you can't even select a motherboard with a heatsink?

Yikes i don't like it when 2 people agree on a problem, i havent built a computer before so not experienced at all what do you guys think i should get that would perform well on rust and big unity work?

do you see a pricetag in the photo?

 

this isnt about money. 

 

i suggest examining the board a little closer.

What is wrong with the board so i will know for next time? Or do you want the other guy to figure it out first?

here is a similar board but it fixed the main issue.

well the thing i wanted point out is that it lacks a VRM heatsink, even among the best B450 VRMs its important to have a heatsink on them. 

 

here are other boards to consider:

Gigabyte GAMING OC will have better cooling than the one you picked.

you might need to add some case fans as well. there is a cheap arctic 5-pack that does the job well.

you might want to add a cpu cooler like the one in my build, especially if your ambient temps are 40 in australia.

my build is m-atx, so smaller motherboard, smaller case. if you prefer the full size one, go with @GoldenLag 's build. either way, the gigabyte gpu will be better than the inno one.
