My Build Plan

[PapaGangster]

Hi guys, so I have got a build plan from someone and I have made a few alterations to it and wanted finial thoughts on it. Haven't been able to list it on pc picker since they don't seem to have all the parts.

Monitor-Acer K242HL 24in LED Widescreen Monitor

Ram-Kingston Hyper X Fury HX316C10FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Black

Psu-Silverstone Strider Essential 600W ST60F-ESB

GPU-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 OC Edition 4GB

HardDrive-Western Digital WD Blue 1TB WD10EZEX

SSD-Samsung 840 EVO Series 120GB SSD (Just For Windows 8)

CPU-AMD FX-8320 8 Core Black Edition Processor

MotherBoard-ASRock 970 Extreme4 Motherboard

Case-Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 Mid Tower Gaming Case

DVD Driver-ASUS DRW-24D3ST 24x DVD Writer

Fan-Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition Red LED Fan (Will go at back)

OS- Windows 8.1 64bit

I can include keyboard etc if you want. Haven't listed prices since I am on a ipad. Can list prices if wanted. Oh and this is a Australian build.

The memory kit is not optimal. DDR3-1600 kits with CAS 9 are better choices.

 

The psu is not a good choice.

 

An aftermarket cooler is needed if the FX-8320 will be overclocked. A better motherboard would also be a good idea.

 

An IPS panel monitor will provide better color reproduction and wider viewing angles.

Would you be able to provide a link to what you would recommend since I am very new to all this?

The AMD 290 might be a better bet instead of that 770.

R9 280 is around $100 less than the cheapest 770, the bargain is to be found there to be sure.

My only problem is that I want to get everything from pccg since the rest don't have good shipping reveiw.
