First Gaming PC $1000-1200 AUS

I plan to use this for gaming moderately, editing videos and pictures and assignments. Going to use two 24" 1080p monitors (already acquired) and using windows 8 (not listed as I can get it at student discount). Just wanted to see if anyone could see if this would all be compatible and it would all fit inside the case nicely and if 600w will be enough power? I was also told that even though the motherboard can only take 1600Mhz it's good to get 1866Mhz memory. All these prices are in AUS $$. Not looking for my parts changed just a check that everything will fit and have enough room.

it will all work but the haswell refresh is just poor in my opinion the prior 4670k and 4770k are better

this build will perform much better and only $1258

and can be overclock if you choose 

i know you didn't want to have different build but atleast give it a look

you will not be disappointed and if you had more money to spend you could get a r9 290 only 120 more dollars http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26600

cpu: fx 8350 $239

cpu cooler: hyper 212 evo $39

motherboard: gigabyte 970a $109

ram: g.skill areas 2x4 8gb 1866 $99

ssd: samsung evo 120gb $99

hdd: 1tb wd blue $67

gpu: xfx r9 280x $329

case cooler master storm scout 2 $115

psu: corsair pro 650w 80+ gold semi modular $139

optical drive: lg dvd/cd reader and writer $23

$1258

can decrease price by getting corsair 200r $85 instead of other $115

and by removing aftermarket cpu cooler deacreasing price by $39

this will perform much better and if you wanted more power you could 

get r9 290 instead for $120 more
