Budget (including currency):  up to $1000 AUD but preferably lower if possible

Country: Australia

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

Mainly games like Minecraft, Rocket league and Krunker but I want to get into Microsoft flight sim down the track. It will also be used for a little bit of school work/ general use (mainly google and word). I am hoping to build a cheap one now with the option for upgrading later down the track.

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): I do not need any peripherals, This is my first pc build and I currently use my laptop for both gaming and school work. I have put together a cheap list on pc part picker https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/3Ygvfv

I am not sure if the fans are compatible I am also slightly concerned with the bios warning because it says I may need an older cpu to upgrade the bios

The only real thing I might suggest differently is maybe switching out the RGB on the RAM for higher frequency since, at least for the short term, you'll be using integrated graphics. I'm also partial to ASRock boards, mine has been super rock solid and the BIOS is easy to navigate and well featured.

So for the amount you're spending on that cheap case and the RGB fans, you could take your pick of a number of much better cases, some of which even come with RGB fans anyway.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
