If you find something wrong please tell me!

 

Motherboard: ASRock Z87M EXTREME4 LGA1150/ Intel Z87/ DDR3/ Quad CrossFireX & Quad

Power supply:corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 744 Power Supply CX750

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) 

CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H55 Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler 

Storage: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5-Inch + Western Digital 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive, Black, WD1003FZEX

Wireless adapter: ASUS(PCE-N15) maximum performance Wireless-N Network Adapter ( 300Mbps Transmit / 300Mbps Recteive) 
Case: NZXT Technologies Source 530 Full Tower Chassis Cases, Black Mesh CA-SO530-M1

Costing about AUD$1300 (not including windows and monitor) mostly bought from Amazon. I am mostly going to be playing games like planetside 2, TF2,  smite, guild war 2, league, arche age and crysis 3. The reason i went with a i7 is because i am going to end up doing quite a bit of CADING. 

 

PS: If you could tell me a good 1080p monitor for a good price, that would be appreciated

- Get MSI Z97-G55 SLI for the motherboard

- Either get a Hyper 212 EVO or a better AIO for the CPU cooler, budget AIO's are kinda bad

- Get http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f32133c9d8gxl instead for RAM. Much higher frequency and lower CAS latency. Can be quite helpful in content creation.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

need a better quality PSU tbh... CX series are for basic builds and dont have stable power.. I recommend the Corsair RM850

He doesn't even need 850W

 

@Ruins

 

Agreed though. If you want a higher wattage PSU try looking at the EVGA G2 750W. That PSU is perfect.

I agree, I just like having extra power for upgrades and the RM fan will virtually never need to kick in as a result of the power :)

That does make them run a bit hotter though (Mainly an issue if fan side up).

Good AIO coolers come at a price. H105 with 2 SP120's is pretty good but also pretty expensive

how aboout Cooler Master Seidon 120XL, Be quiet! Dark Rock or noctua 6 dual heatpipe or corsair H60. if none of these work then i will just go with the Hyper evo 212 because i know that is really good.
