[ Build Help ] $1000 AUD MiTX Gaming build

[Pvtjace]

Hi Guys,

Im building my first PC which is actually for my missus. (Once this is done I can finally build mine after!)
I have a PC partpicker list below for my initial build.
 

If anyone can help me with a few parts or better yet create a PC part picker list too that would be fantastic!
Im not sure if the power supply I already picked will fit as I have heard you need a PSU under 160mm in modular setup..

Hopefully I havent missed anything..

Slight improvements. I feel bad for the Aussies, your prices are so messed up. RAM is RAM, so get the cheapest. And a 7950 is a nice improvement.

Hi JoshM, No overclocking on this system.

Im open to an AMD route too.. Not locked down.

Yer I would say AMD but its impossible to do in ITX unless you want APU or Athlon, which i wouldn't
