First PC Build

[Harrison.k]

HI I'm just wondering if this PC is worth it. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/c83gnn. i all ready have a monitor, mouse and keyboard. my budget is $950 -$1000 Australian dollars

The case nearly costs as much as the CPU. Ditch the CPU cooler and just stick with the stock one.

 

An i5 + RX 470 would perform much better.

in my opinion no. Save up more and get an i5 and a 1060 or 1070. Also, that SD is going to fill up hella fast.

This would be a good amount faster for the same price

Get an 256GB and above SSD 

120GB is kind of limiting in terms of storage after installing windows, only about 80GB+ is left for the programme
