P.S I already Have A few different HDDs lying around my place because my old man Uses PC's a lot so he has plenty of spares!

Any system on PC Part Picker at those price ranges will be a 'console killer"  consoles aren't really that fancy.   Usually they're running at the PC equivalent of 'Medium Detail'  with some features turned down and others, like texture resolution, turned up to cover the difference.  The prices drop even more if you look for builds with AMD cards rather than NVidia.  With the right sales and cashing in rebates you can build a PS4 killer for the price of a PS4

That's a very good PC, but I would reccomend skipping the 970 and waiting for the 1060 to come out, it's cheaper and more powerful than the 970 $250 for 980 power

[Hogger]

that would absolutely kill a console. no doubt about it. 

 

wait... 550 bucks for a 970? does that pc part picker list say you are from new Zealand?

I would recommend the rx 480 for a gpu, or a 1070, whichever fits your price range better. Other than that, it is great. Consider getting an air cooler however, as single red coolers generally perform identically to cheaper air coolers. 

[TheNuzziNuzz]

You can get an entry level console killer gaming beast for under 900 USD

Yes sorry for not elaborating, I completly forgot that most users come from different parts of the world but yes I am from New Zealand and we are absolute Wh*res when it comes to the prices of technology. sorry about that. all prices are in NZD

What is your budget? What res do you plan to game on?

[n00bmlg]

With 144hz a 1070 would be the best, but this will DEMOLISH consoles

You have no way of knowing that for sure, nor does anyone. Wait for official reviews to find out how powerful it actually is.

My budget is $1500 to just over $1600 NZD and REZ??? I'm not to familiar with computer terms sorry! can you please elaborate?

[TheNuzziNuzz]

What display resouloution.

 

Are you buying in US, if so, 1600 USD is not a console killing build, its an extreme play every game at max settings at a badgillion FPS, you could save if you are just trying to beat a console.

Sorry for not Editing the post sooner but because Of a Major mistake I made (Double posting) All of my posts that seemed relevant to my first post, Simple Cheap Console Killer, where merged so I didn't have the chance to also say I live in New Zealand and the price is in NZD (New Zealand Dollar). Again I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you

So it seems that R9 390 is the best option for NZ people. A lot cheaper than competition.

The PC that I built for you will cost your almost $150 less and perform a tiny bit better due to the 390 instead of the 970.

 

* You do not need a cooler for that particular CPU since it can't be overclocked and the stock cooler will be more than enough.

* You can switch to a cheaper motherboard since you won't be overclocking.

 

Have you already bought the components? If not, then I suggest you making these changes which will not give you any negative performance, but rather improve it and also save you money (for getting a better monitor perhaps).

Again thanks for the help But i'm going to gradually be building up my PC around the motherboard and CPU so I don't really see the point in buying a cheaper board when i'm going to be making a lot of upgrades in the years to come, also I changed the GPU to a 1060. I was going to buy the core i7600K but that's a bit to expensive and not needed. however I do plan on pushing this PC to its limits hence the fan on the cpu to keep it running smoothly and quietly because nothing bugs the cr*p out of me more than that stupid humming that you hear from stock standard CPU coolers trying to cope with the pressure of what I usually use my cra* computer I currently own for. but again thanks but no thanks.
