Hi all.

i am looking to build a new build asap but i need help checking it. my budget is going to be around $2000 AUD 

i made a build on PCPartPicker which i will post. it is over budget but i would like help to get it below budget with a small of drop in performance as possible.

the only things i would like to keep in the build are the noctura Fans, Case, and CPU.

this is the build.

 
CPU: AMD FX-9370 4.4GHz 8-Core OEM/Tray Processor  ($319.00 @ CPL Online) 
CPU Cooler: Fractal Design Kelvin S24 62.4 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($189.00 @ Umart) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($215.00 @ CPL Online) 
Storage: Transcend  64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($64.98 @ Mwave Australia) 
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 390X 8GB SOC Video Card  ($589.00 @ CPL Online) 
Case: NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($109.00 @ PLE Computers) 
Monitor: Asus VE278H 27.0" Monitor  ($299.00 @ CPL Online) 
Total: $2217.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

i do not have a monitor and am looking for a 27" one and i will upgrade to a second monitor when i can. i dont need a mouse or a keyboard.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
i will moslty be using this PC for Gaming, i will be playing a range of Games and i will also be looking into live streaming. i need to upgrade from my current computer due to the fact that my laptop currently can barely run most games at very low due to the integrated GPU and the terrible cooling that it has

This... this needs some work.

 

For a gaming  build, that CPU is one of the worst you can pick. 

 

You are going to want to go Intel.

Thanks!

i originally had an intel build that i was debating to post but i was going to have to fix since it rank $500 over the budget i was thinking of and i couldnt be bothered cleaning up.

your advice was helpful though. i dont really know much about AMD and their CPUs so i didnt know which one would of been the best for gaming.

For gaming, Intel is the best option unless your budget is incredibly tiny

This is good. If you want to shave a few bucks you could cut the cooler to a 212 evo and get a single monitor(prefferably get IPS panel). If you really gotta cut the bucks an r9 390 will serve you fine.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Also, those extra fans are not necessary, and a cheaper case would also serve just fine. 

 

An I5 4460 would also do well.
