[PLANNING] CORSAIR 450D

[Dezzmon]

Hi, 

 

This build will be primarily for gaming, but I will be also be using it for a little bit of render work. 

I've decided to discard my last build plan as I wanted something with a bit more space and airflow and so that's why I went for a bigger 450D. 

I'm trying to keep this around $1500 AUD. It'd be great if you guys could give me any tips and suggestions for parts as I'm still yet to decide on a few. Thanks

I suggest the Z97- A from ASUS, its a pretty reliable board. 

What is your budget for the GPU?

VII Gene. Great m-atx mobo. I'd go with a cheaper AOI like the X41. Still performs very well though. That will enable you to have the extra $$ to buy the vii gene.

Why are you recommending an M-atx mobo for an ATX case?

You can get a chepaer Crucial MX100 SSD which performs the same. For a GPU, get a 970 and a good PSU would be something from the EVGA G2 series (500W should be enough).

I think he is confusing it with a 350D.
