Final gaming pc build

[azza_01]

Hey guys, Im planning to build myself a gaming pc this year. Note that I live in Australia, so i will be buying my parts from "PC case gear". So far i have a set budget of $1800(AUD) for my pc parts. Anyways after some consideration through forums and reviews,  this is my planned build:

CPU: Intel Core i5 6500
Mobo: MSI B150 Gaming M3 Motherboard
Ram: Kingston HyperX Fury HX421C14FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 Black
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO Series 250GB 2.5in SSD

HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB WD10EZEX

GPU:  MSI Radeon R9 390 Gaming 8GB
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Chassis Black
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 Gold 750W Power Supply
Optical drive: ASUS DRW-24D5MT 24x DVD Writer
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64bit OEM DVD
Wifi: TP-Link TL-WN881ND Wireless N PCI Express Adapter ( need this in the meantime... plan on getting a Ethernet cable wired to my room through wall) 

Extra Fan:  GELID Silent 12 120mm Silent Fan

 

Total: $1829 (including postage) 
Note*: i do not intend to overlock my cpu.
Keeping a black red type of theme 

 

So ive managed to go about $30 over my budget but thats alirght still able to handle it. I choose to go with a AMD R9 390 over a Nvidia GTX 970, has the 8GB VRAM which i like as a future consideration and its about $20 cheaper. After a few reviews between these two cards , seems as though they are pretty much neck and neck with the 390 being able to perform better in some games and same goes for the 970.Therefore when a time comes and i may need over 4GB VRAM then no worries, where if i were to get a 4GB card then yeah..  Now even though i might get a extra few FPS with the 970 in some games im still happy with anything 50 FPS+ to a lowest of 30FPS.   I wont talk much about CPU i think this i5 6500 new gen CPU will do the job just fine, AMD CPU'S just seem to fall behind when comes to gaming at the moment i believe. Sure some will do okay but when it comes to comparing them yeah.. nahhh.

to be fair he could get cheaper, but uglier RAM

That's a fantastic choice of components! Nothing to criticize or anything! Should definitely post a picture of it after it's built!

yeah there are a couple things to make a cheaper but yeah will start kinda looking odd and bit extra $$ can go far, last time a built one it looked like shit so now gonna make it look nice with red/black cant go wrong.

one last min change on my RAM to the "G.Skill Ripjaws V Series F4-2133C15D-8GVR 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4" instead of the  "Kingston HyperX Fury HX421C14FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 Black".
