Reasoning behind components:

CPU- Good for gaming and light content creation

Motherboard- Has future SLI compatibility and looked better than the Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 which had similar features

RAM- Found that gskils was recommended by lots of different reviews and build guides 

SD- Reasonably fast just for OS and games

HDD- Good price point for game library

Graphics card- 970 is an amazing price for performance and the Gigabyte G1 gaming had a good io with a fantastic cooler

Case- small, minimalistic, good build quality PSU- only $20 more than a 450w corsair psu so has upgrade potential

Monitor- only 144Hz monitor under $500 also had good reviews

Wifi adapter- for wifi

Nepton 240m- Good reviews, long tubing so that

Nice build but those prices ... ugh!

You are missing aftermarket cooler if you plan on OCing CPU.

I'm going t use the Nepton 240m but they are not available in NZ yet. I expect them to be around $200
