$1500 AUD Prodigy build

[MexicanAnimal]

Hi all!

 

I'm building a build for a friend, and he LOVES the prodigy. He also wants to OC, and one last thing, he also wants wireless, AC if possible.

 

The budget is strictly $1500. It will be used for gaming, mostly, and some light photo/video editing. No need for OS, or peripherals, as he has all of them.

 

Ok so here is what I came up with in the last 15 mins since he told me

Any suggestions or other builds are welcome

Looks solid to me, but that case does come in MATX (believe its the same size) which would allow for CF in the future but up to you.

Look good. I dont see any problem there

Yeah, I know, but as he does requiere wireless, and he's not too much of a power user, I think that this build is pretty good

Yeah, go with it!

Just get a wifi card? And MATX is better future proofing.
