Australian PC Build

[iblakeyx]

Hey guys, Just wanting to ask if you guys could suggest anything that i should change in the build im going for. 
 

I wouldn't want it to be anymore expensive than it already is as iv already gone 200 over my budget. Preferably anything that you suggest would stick to the black and red color scheme. Thanks

What will you be doing on the computer - gaming, streaming, video editing, photo editing?

RAID 1 is not backup. You might be better off using a single hdd and getting an external drive for storing backups.

Sorry to take so long getting back to you.

 

You might consider going with a 2x4GB memory kit if you need to get the cost down.

 

You might consider a better psu. Antec HCG-620M and Corsair HX650 are worth looking at.

The HX650 is better but more expensive.

What makes it better?

The fact that it is 80+ Gold rated as opposed to 80+ Bronze, has a slightly higher capacity, and a longer warranty. If you want to get into the weeds http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/corsair-hx650-gold-power-supply-review/, and http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/antec-high-current-gamer-m-620-w-power-supply-review/ are by the same reviewer.
