Final Gaming Build Prototype

[NotOnTheGuestList]

Hi Guys,

I am finally fixing up the last details of my build, I have no opinions but my own so please give me feedback, ideas or criticism.

I am not too sure about the case yet, reason I chose 390x and the ASUS Hero is because they are have deals at the moment, they may be overkill but I'm not too sure.

Budget is around 2k Australian Dollars, try not to exceed it, I am really pushing my limits.

Thanks,

Australian Dollars, I'll fix it up.

I feel like you could go for a much more cheaper case and also cheaper motherboard and put some money in some more quality and or improved parts. If I can, do you have a color scheme and or specifics that you wish you want in a computer? I'd like to write up a build for you too that is a bit more balanced out. 

 

Also the reason I say a cheaper case is this. When I first built a PC for personal use (That I still use occasionally when I'm visiting my mother) I bought a massive Corsair 600T yet I could only afford to put a i5 3550 with a stock cooler and GTX 660 TI in there. I spent my money on my computer looking cool rather than performing much faster and better. If you tone down your case option to something more budget, you could slap a few more bucks into some better parts and or just more quality parts.

It's good, but do you really have to choose the VIII Hero? You can downgrade the mobo a bit and can actually get 16GB ram

No colour scheme in particular and the only specs I'm almost positive about are the R9 390(or x) and the 6600k, the other parts are all changeable. Even these parts could be upgraded and I would be very grateful for you to help.

Yeah, I just saw it on a deal. I can change it, only a last minute choice.

This is all in AUD, It's very hard to find a hyper 212 evo in Australia but the 212x is as good.

Thanks, I have to admit that Motherboard was overkill.

Mind you my prices are from the US but they should be around the prices that you have set for your other built. Take not that you can also go to the site down below to get Windows pretty cheap. Paul's Hardware did a review on the site and I'v bought a good amount of stuff there too so if you want windows 10 for like, super cheap here you go.

Thanks for this, I'm going to do some calculations and stuff now from these selections. I'm glad you could fit the 250GB SSD and 16GB RAM, didn't know it was possible for my price!
