Looks pretty decent. Just know that if you upgrade to a K-series CPU later, that mobo isn't really good for overclocking.

Can it even? It's B150.

Get a 470 not 1050Ti.

What do you mean by 'isn't really good'? It's not possible to overclock on a B150 board. 

 

That's like saying a spoon isn't very good for mountain biking.

It can't.
Agree'd, the extra performance from a 470 is well worth the extra money.

The BIOS has a dedicated page for it, but according to the website I looked at (techporn.com) it wasn't good at all. And yeah, now that I think of it the 470 is better.

That would be BCLK overclocking, not multiplier overclocking.
In which case a K chip isnt even needed for bclk overclocking.

My first though was "$1500 for that build?" then I saw "Australia" and was like "ahh, makes more sense now".

 

I genuinely feel sorry for you Ozzie's, for £1500 you'd get a 6700K & 1080 build fairly easily.

[ProjectBox153]

This is what I saw, sorry if I got confused. I just scanned through the page to see any important info.

Our prices go with our economy, I guess. 

It's like being brutally fucked and then taped to a wall. 

Having to drop $1100 on what costed around $700USD at the time when AUD was on parity with USD.

I don't know about their retailers as im not AUS but why wouldn't you want a better machine for the same-ish price? Shopping around gets you the best deal that's a 1060 in there, with a k cpu (he mentions video editing so he may want more cpu grunt), and a z270 mobo to OC it. Yeah Pc part picker didn't have a retailer or a price for it but I bet there is one... factor it at $120 ish?

big issue with AUS is shipping prices. some places have amazing prices but they're in another state or they're not local. shipping costs $20+ per item.

I dunno, AUD is pretty on par with CAD right now. Then again we're ontop of america so shipping is cheaper.

Cheapest is literally $579 AU, and it's a really shit blower-style card and always out of stock. Nearest prices are like $609, etc. my 1070 is $670 here, and $550 on amazon, delivered.

 

[Hynam199]

not going to expect much from internet just tested it.

[Hynam199]

Shame about the OC its good fun and would benefit cpu intensive tasks. If it were me I'd squeeze out the best build I could and buy crap $5 perif until I have another $100 for the good stuff. Any keyboard/mouse will WORK.

 

EDIT: forgot to say good luck
