Hi all!

 

So I was told that I could ask around here for people to have a look at PC builds and to get advice (I hope this is the right place to post). I'm pretty much new to PC building so I'm really iffy on parts compatibility and how effective they are :S. Can you guys have a look at the build plan I currently have? I'm trying to keep the cost below $1.5k AUD.

Where I'm getting them + cost - http://puu.sh/myWvG/7ba889182c.txt

 

Thanks in advance! ^_^

 

 

EDIT: Altered parts to the suggestions given.

But i would say try these instead:

 

i used this price list 
http://cdn.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf
 

Asrock H110M-HDV-D3 + DDR3 ram (if you are on a budget, otherwise ignore) (save about 45aud)
Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (PRO isnt gonna give you much difference in perf, evo is enough really, unless u need 10 year warranty) (saves 60aud)

Gigabyte GTX 970 3X Windforce OC (triple fan vs 2 fans for the same price, quieter)
Antec True Power 80+ Gold TP-450C (its a good psu if on a budget, if not, just ignore) (saves about 10aud)

 

 

edit:
if you want to bump up to a r9 390, get these:

Antec True Power 80+ Gold TPC550 (real name is TP-550C, the pdf is wrong)
or
Antec HCG Modular 620M / Corsair CS550M

and
Sapphire-Nitro 390 TRI X OC

Get the R9 390, get the EVO instead of the PRO, the performance difference is not that big, and some 600W PSU.

390 is expensive where he wants to buy it, and so is a good 600w psu. why increase price without increase as much perf. 390 is good, but in his case. not that good.
