i5 6500 and a h mobo would be way cheaper

My only edit would be the SSD, you can get a 500 GB Samsung EVO for $57 more. Might be worth it!

what do you mean a h mobo? 

also when choosing 6500 processor instead of 4460 i get compatibility error: 

• The Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory operating voltage of 1.5V exceeds the Intel Skylake CPU recommended maximum of 1.35V+5% (1.417V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.35V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

 

soz im a noob, just want to make this build perfect

The case may be a bit of a poor choice as it will become easily dirty and it will be more visible however if you are set on having a white case then it seems quite nice. What are you intending on using it for as you may not need to spend the money on the tower cooler and so you could use it for a slightly better monitor, you could also save some money on the SSD as it is one of the best however you may not need that and you could use the money to purchase a larger HDD.

case has to be nzxt s340,

need a monitor in your pcpartpicker lists

and list make sure are in AU

you're paying more for less performance. forget about haswell, just get a cheap skylake mobo and an i5 6400/6500 instead. use the money for an rx 480 and other better components.

[Patrick100]

Ok first of all gentlemen, i live in Australia, so remember that your pcpartpicker lists could be in US dollars which makes your builds look cheaper and better then mine, when in reality they are better but far more expensive. I really kinda wanna keep the cost down below like $1380 AU, lastly please include a monitor in your suggested lists. I kinda want the  BenQ GW2470H 23.8" 60Hz Monitor  for its flicker free technology, because i think this would help my eyes. I know i could spend like 60 dollars less and get a  BenQ RL2460HT, but if i could i really would prefer flick-free, i know some people think its a gimmic, but i dont have the best eyes and i feel kinda stressed after looking at a monitor after a while, im sure my eyes will feel better with this.

 

Another question...

why are the majority of people suggesting builds with LGA1151 and not LGA1150, is there a massive increase in performance with using the latest Skylake cpu's?

 

Aswell as that, ive kinda had my eyes on the MSI PC-MATE motherboard for a while and a think it would look seriously cool in a blue/black build.

 

The case has to be NZXT S340, dont ask why, long story..

don't care about cool when you're getting 3 times less performance.

[Patrick100]

nvm not 3 times, but the rx 480 is twice as good as the rx 460. you're also getting a mediocre psu with that build.

[Patrick100]

so yeah i can get a 470 instead of a 460 for the same price as the haswell build....but...but black and blue, 4 ram slots, blue ram......arrrrrrrr is it worth 90 dollars extra??

no. skylake mobos can support 16gb ram sticks so you can get up to 32gb on a cheapo 2 slot mobo.
