Help with a new pc build

[darktim]

Hi all im looking for a some recommendations for a gaming PC build. Im not to knowledgeable with hardware and their compatibility, so i came here for some help and advice.

 

 

Budget & Location

 

$1500 AUS dollars and currently located within Sydney Australia. Could allow for about 10-15% increase if justifiable. 

 

Aim 

 

Mainly for gaming, might run some doing some coding for uni, but not thing to extensive. 

 

Monitors 

 

Planning on running 2 monitors, mainly in dvi i expect whilst one may be used for a  console from time to time. A 3rd larger monitor might be a thing in the future if can get a good sized/priced monitor.

 

Peripherals 

Do not need to purchase any so i can invest in hardware a bit more. 

 

Selection of Hardware. 

 

CPU - Maybe something from the 1151 socket range

GPU - Was looking at getting something around the range of a gtx 960-970

RAM - Leaning towards about 16gbs 

Motherboard - Which ever may be compatible

CPU cooling - looking for a more silent unit, does not need to be to fancy as i at the early stages don't plan to over clock (i do have a h80i in my current computer so if possible i might just take it and re purpose it)

Storage - storage will be a ssd for the os and a 2tb for storage

Case - something nice would be great but not too fancy, 

PSU - of course something to support the system 

 

Reasons for upgrading

Main reason is my current computer is about 7 years old, with some upgrades to storage and the h80i, but that is about it.  The computer is struggling with newer games for awhile now, and i have been mostly buying games on the console just to have games to play.

If you want, use your H80i. You will need denatured (isopropyl/rubbing) alcohol and cotton swabs to clean off the pump contact plate before installing it on the new cpu.

 

This system will not overclock.
