mATX Build (First Time Builder)

[snortings]

Hi,

I'm looking at building a mATX buiild. I will most likely add a GPU in the future, but I think I can run off the CPU for now.

 

I'm looking of playing in 1080p (mainly GTA 5, figured if my old Toshiba Satellite can run GTA 5 on Medium I should be right).

 

Might upgrade to dual monitors in the future (or maybe right away, not sure).

I wouldn't really like to spend much more. 

 

How does this build look? Should I make any modifications? Yes I still want an optical drive because I might a hard copy of a game in the future.

I don't think you can run GTA at 1080p off an iGPU.

Won't play GTA 5 straight away, Just need the build first before I game.

That's fair, but what are the prices of the 480 and 1060 in AUS?

Suggestions for a Mobo and Case? If you choose case, it must have ONLY 1 Optical slot.

480 is around $450 ish, 1060 is about $400.

 

I replaced the R9 390 with a EVGA GTX 1060

 

Updated Part List:

Got any other suggestions?

Maybe see if you can find a cheaper case and PSU.

[GDRRiley]

ok so at 1366x768 at lowest settings about 40 fps

Found a different case, it's really hard to find a quality PSU in Australia for cheap.

Mobo i believe is fine. As for the PSU: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/VCxfrH/antec-power-supply-hcg520m

Cheaper, if you don't mind the loss of 80+ gold.

I don't like how it's Semi Modular. I will always get a Full Modular.

Eh, your call. I don't think it matters that much, but it's personally preference I suppose.
