I need help with a build for a new gaming PC!

 

1. Budget & Location

I'm looking to spend about $2000 (would consider going over for performance), and in $AUD.

2. Aim

Using this mainly for gaming, some video/photo editting and just leisure. I want high end gaming as well.

 

3. Monitors
I'm planning to run dual monitors(23-24'' would be nice).

4. Peripherals

I'll need a keyboard, low-profile would be best. But if there's a good deal on KB-Mouse? Why not? 

5. Why are you upgrading?
No. I'm doing a fresh new build.

 

P/S: I'll be using the H440 from NZXT since i'm in love with it xD

Nice build man. But how is XFX doing? And that keyboard also?

As far as I know XFX is doing just fine.

 

The keyboard was picked because a slim kbd was requested and it was the only one with Cherry MX Red keys listed in au.pcpartpicker.com.
