Budget (including currency): -

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming Etc

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):


Looking to use a dual monitor setup on Windows with a LG 27GL83A 27" 1440p 144Hz Monitor as my primary monitor and then an older 75hz 1080p monitor as well, having never used a dual monitor setup I wanted to make sure there would be no problems with the components I'm looking at using or if im missing anything. I already own the Wireless Network Adapter but i can look at upgrading to another if recommended. After looking at prices the total cost of the build came to roughly $2350 AUD and then another $800 AUD for the monitor. Any tips on parts that can be swapped for a lower price or better performance at a similar price. Components can also be difficult to find in Australia. I did also build my current pc so I have some experience with building. Thank you in advance for the help!

Thanks for the tip on the 3600, I managed to find some for a similar price as the 2700x, however the 3700x is an extra $130 AUD, so I'm not sure the extra cost would be worth the increase in performance.

As for the PSU, I have no idea why its priced at that on pcpartpicker, however on amazon its at $189 AUD which is why i considered it.

The power supply is actually priced at $189 AUD on Amazon, not sure why its priced so high on pcpartpicker.
And no I do not own any of the parts on the list other than the Wireless Network Adapter, but I do have a 120gb SATA SSD in my current system.
