I have that case on another build, make sure you plug in any fans/ top cables into the mobo first before you put the mobo in as there is like no gap up the top.

$800 AU doesn't go very far especially with the state of our dollar unfortunately :(

 

I did my best to put something together from an Aussie site, maybe someone that's better at this kind of stuff can make sure im not pointing you in the wrong direction lol

Yes, I have owned it for a while on a test bench and got 53FPS 1080p on BF4, so any other game should do great!

 

 

PS: 1tb 7200rpm drive: Seagate for AU, because free ship both ways if it fails, and only to Sydney (You could drop it in on the way to work :) . WD ships to singapore, and they charge you.
Seagate 1TB 7200RPM Drive: $65 @ Umart

 

Total: $775.50AUD

 

PPS: Make sure you get that exact model graphics card if you want all that performance.

There have been many wars that have rocked the face of Earth, Many have heard of WWI, WWII, The Cold War, The Vietnam War and the Iraq War. But there has been a war that only a handful of humans know.....AMD vs Intel. It all started in 1985 when Intel released the first 32bit processor, the Intel 386. This war has been raging on for decades and Intel and AMD are still at each others throats. Fanboys have been ruthlessly killed, motherboards have been short circuited and most gruesome of all... CPU pins have been bent. Stop this war before it is too late. #STOPTHISWAR

High, not ultra, but still looked amazing!

If you are specifically playing BF4 then get an r9 270x for $219 (gigabyte version). That will play battlefield slightly better than the 750Ti, but the 750Ti has better drivers and support for a huge amount of games.

I think 600W to a 213W is going to kill my system LITERALLY don't you think.

Yeah, just remember you want about 100w buffer from what nvidia says for the 750ti (400w) so go a 500w or even550 if you are going to overclock. Enjoy the system!

The motherboard is too expensive and it dosent support 1833 ddr3. Is there a cheaper motherboard maybe $100-$115 that is very good

No h97 board is going to support more than 1600 ddr3. And it was the cheapest ATX motherboard and unless you want a tiny motherboard in a bigger case i would suggest sticking with this.

Go with this if you want the smaller board.

BTW when you get this dont get from newegg, their shipping costs are outragous. 

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

But I'm getting the case fans after. It's not necessary to get it in the beggining right?

Yeah but there is like a 4 or 6 pin the is next to the cpu which is what im talking about, any cable that can't be accessed from the side or bottom of mobo
