I posted a build a few weeks ago(I think you can find it through my profile) and here's an updated one. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vKyMzy

Its not exactly like that but its extremely similar. So, what can I change about it?

Thanks :D

Could prooobably get a better SSD. Just saying.

Only other one in mind is the Adata SP900. The others are really expensive here.

Hi Comic Sans! This build is interesting... Though I do want a 380 4GB. I'm gonna be making some videos in Sony Vegas so is it worth getting the 4590 or should I just get the 4460?

Makes sense. My condolences. I'm not familiar with the market nor currency. Any hope for a incline in value? If so i would advise to wait it out. No point in building a brand new(no used parts) and using last gen parts.

The R9 280x is more powerful than the R9 380, and you are correct about the the CPU, it is a bit of a downgrade, but not by much.

 

If you can spend a little more on the CPU I'd an i5 4690 or i5 4690k or i7 instead.

Thanks man :)

It would take a rather long time for it to come back to normal. About a year I'm guessing (could be wrong). It happened before in this country and it took long to return to normal. The laptop I have now is really slow so I'm definitely not gonna wait for the value to return and then buy the PC. Decisions decisions decisions...

As for the 380X thing, it costs RM1150 here. That's about $330 if the value didn't decline.
