New PC Build - NEED TIPS

Hi LTT Forum,

I am a 15 Year Old in Australia looking to build a new PC for 1080p video editing and light gaming. 

 

Budget - Around AUD850 or USD650

Requirements - Needs to be Intel, Needs to be a Quad Core, Not thinking of upgrading anytime soon, Needs to fit the budget, Doesn't need to look good, Try using the Australian PC Part Picker site (If You Want), Needs a SSD and HDD

 

Got a build so far (Any tips would help) - http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/dnL9JV

 

Thanks

1) get an intel or samsung or crucial SSD, not a V300

2) personally I would go with an ASUS motherboard, try to find one in your price range

3) can you wait for a RX480 to come down in price? or is it too expensive in australia?

4) get an EVGA or seasonic PSU

5) everything else is fine

Any board with 4 ram slots will support 32GB.

For 64GB you would need 16GB DIMMs which only work in certain boards, and are really expensive (for the non-ECC ones, because you cant use ECC)

But you don't need 64GB of ram, so 32 is fine.
