First Gaming PC

[josh12]

Hello everyone, 

 

I've been looking into buying a gaming PC. I live in Australia and there is really only 1 website to make your own PC. I've made my own and i was wondering if someone can just check to see if it's a good first build. The price on the build is my budget, i don't want to spend more than that. Check out the link below.

The chipset on the board is 1150 and your socket is AM3+, so get a motherboard which is compatible with your processor.

All those don't include a monitor have you already got one? Also im from Australia to, I hate how overpriced our parts are here. I feel you haven't done any research into what the parts you picked are and if there compatible with each other, also i think that case is way to small. My advice do a little more research look up some videos on YouTube like gaming pc for under $1000 etc there are some good videos out there and have parts that are all compatible. Also I'd pay the extra money to get the SSD straight up so you can put your os on it for insane boot speeds, which you can't really after you have installed it on your hd

I know this isn't in your price range but this is my wish list.
