Newbie first time pc build

[Djz1134]

This is for those who are new to pc build. I myself have never built a pc and looking for help max budget $2,000 aud. Can wait for gtx 1080 and new xenon cpu's.

[VVoltor]

OK, So you want a Xeon (my god why?) and a 1080?

Get a mobo that supports Xeon chips, a GTX 1080, some compatible RAM maybe, something for storage, a PSU that can power all that and a nice case to put it in.

 

If you're expecting more specific advice maybe provide some more details of what you want, and intended use?

thanks you, 

[Djz1134]

on a side note should i wait for the 1080 or buy the 980ti, as the 1080 is more for vr (which i wont be needing)?

1080 is not only for vr, they are just marketing it as a vr beast. It is much better than the 980ti (25%ish) or even a titanx

P.S Good to see a fellow aussie

This is a pretty good 2k build only thing you might want to change is case because it is all about preference.

 

i did add the expected price of the 1080 although it is not confirmed... You can also change the cpu to a non-overclockable skew, change the mobo to b85/h170 and get rid of the cpu cooler.

Search it up for yourself.

 

I'm sure many other people on this forum would agree with me not to buy a V300.

That psu is junk as well. Spend less on the cooler and put it towards a better psu.

If you can, a 240gig SSD could be useful as you can then put more games on the Super Speed Drive (SSD).

Then a Xeon and 1080 is overkill for the games you'd play on it. I can play the same games and never skip a beat on a $1000 gaming PC. You'll just end up paying for the things that you wont end up using. Impractical. There are tons and tons of $800-1000 builds over here, just skim through them.

Seconded. Get an Adata SP500 instead.
