First custom build

[Tickletehpickle]

Hello community members, I have this build ready to be ordered in 30 minutes and I tried my best to be cheaper. I can't do much since my budget is really tight, too many other fees here in Australia  

Storage doesn't really matter as I will transfer both my SSD and 2.5 2tb HDD from my laptop (Sh!t box)

Are you just posting to post? Or do you have a question?

ok, few things:

1. you don't need a fully modular PSU!

2. R9 380 is cheaper and will perform better than a gtx 960

 

so for better value, i would get an r9 380, and a semi-modular psu, and it will be a bit cheaper (maybe you can save around 30-50 bucks)

 

have a good one!

I would save a couple of bucks and do what Epiclol86 said as well as replacing the 16 GB kit of RAM with an 8 GB kit, performance won't be effected.

I did all the things and it was a bit cheaper, although when I used the R9 380... It was a lil pricy

If you are flexible on the case I can do something better... i5 6500 + R9 390?

You have to fit a GPU in it though.
