Grab a boot SSD to go with it, and upgrade GPU to a 480. You can get a 480 in AU for ~$20 more than you're paying for the 470.

You forgot to pick ssd :o

It doesn't have to be big one. 

 

Get at least 120GB SSD for your OS.

 

And if possible upgrade from rx 470 to 480, since it will be better for 1080p gaming :)

My go-to is the kingston SSDNOW series, but it really doesn't matter that much. go for it. You're also massively overpaying on RAM, MSY has never had great RAM prices. Shop around a bit.

Personally, if you could spare an extra $20, I'd get a Freesync monitor such as the Viewsonic VX2257... it'll make a huge difference.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Something like samsung evo 850 would be always better, but if it's out of your price range, get that intel 540. Will be still much better than HDD :)

Don't use MSY for RAM, their prices are too inflated
