900AUD Build

[CookieTheLabrador]

Hey guys,

I'm building a new pc for light video editing and gaming at 720p with a budget of 900AUD.

Here's the build -  http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/b77xLk

I'm going to be picking parts up from shops near Keilor Downs. Should I drive 50km to PCCG or Scorptec or buy from Centre Com Sunshine and MSY Pascoe Vale?

Thanks for the input

CPU-wise this is 7% faster
GPU-wise this is over 100% faster
The V300 SSDs are also crap - avoid them
Antec HCG are better than the Basiq one you had

What about a good old 280X? Cheaper and faster

It's not faster - the 380 has MUCH better Tess performance and better DX12 performance (GCN 1 vs GCN 1.2) - it's also MUCH more efficient (380 uses 160W, 280X uses 250W)
