Hi,

I live down under in Australia, and I was looking to build a new gaming rig for around $1500.

I need a monitor, optical drive and OS

 

Here is what I put together - I was wondering if you guys could make any improvements

 

Thanks

why get the cooler on the locked CPU?

no SSD?

R9 380 > GTX 960

 

OS through software exchange on reddit.

Solitaire.
