Hows my Part List?

Unlike many other opinions wanted topics, I will actually follow the posting guidelines :)

 

Purpose: Gaming, solely gaming. I want to play games like BO3, CS:GO, Batman: Arkham Knight, and just be able to mow down any of the newer releases at 1080p 60 FPS high settings. I DO NOT plan on playing GTA V.

 

Currency: Australian Dollar, also known as AUD.

MAX BUDGET: I already have the case and the HDD. So try to keep the overall modifications underneath $1500. I don't want to go over at all. The monitor and OS are included in this price. I already have my main peripherals.

If you are going to change anything, be sure to keep it clean looking in a white case.

Pretty solid build. I would perhaps upgrade the SSD. You will run out of room quite quickly on a 120GB after just installing OS and a few programs. For an extra 50 bucks you can pick up a Kingston Fury 240GB or a Corsair Force LS 240GB.

Would the extra cash be worth it? It's pretty much double the 120 so wouldn't I just be better off getting 1 120GB now and another later?

 

And what would be better anyway? Force LS or Fury?

You are always better getting a bigger SSD to begin with. Even if you get a second one later it wont be as efficient as a single larger one, whether you RAID 0 or not. 

 

I would never recommend less than a 240GB anymore for a desktop PC. Prices are getting better everyday.

 

If you had to choose between the Force LS or the Fury.. based on specs along i would suggest the Fury. You could also have a look at the Kingston V300 240GB SSD which although cheaper by about $15 and slower than the above two, still beats a spinning HDD.

Kingston v300 ssd's have a nand flash issue.Avoid them,fury is fine tough.
