Quiet/Powerful Gaming PC

[RohanLeRoux]

Hi all,

 

I'm busy planning to build a new system. I'm aiming to go for a quiet machine whilst still maintaining performance. I will be sourcing a 250GB SSD from my previous system. 

 

Google Docs link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UPdmubg6bof2cSiHDzA0X8IOZ-2GFVvipU_Vx4FgWG8/edit?usp=sharing

 

I would appreciate any advice and/or improvements. 

 

Regards.

What's your budget?

I've used it in the past but it doesn't seem to pick up local shops and their prices. ~ so the grand total is skewed

[RohanLeRoux]

What's your budget?

Slightly under $2600 AUD ~ so about $2000 USD.

yeah cause it only picks up well known shops in that country....

 

most of the time, the prices on there are cheaper than the ones in your local shop.

Only reason I'm going 750 over 650 for instance is that it costs $10 more, basically

Haha- do remember exchange rate and COL. I've done some conversions and I've seen that products are only ever so slightly more expensive here- the 980ti (MSI model) for example, is just $50 more expensive in Aus.
