building pc PC Gaming (Building my own)

[Brodney]

I'm looking at building my PC, wanna order all the parts within the next day or two. I've had a lot of pcpartlinks sent to me (but hard to pick). My Budget is around $1,300 - $1,400 AUD currency. 

I have a wish list and would know if I'd be good for starters. Playing games like COD, CSGO, GTA5, Horror, and a lot more. As well as recording and editing. If you think you would have a better build around that price range ($1,400 AUD) please let me know :). I want a good decent PC to start off with for around my budget.....haha.

You have many threads, why do you keep creating more?

From a compatibility point of view, your build doesn't have any issues. 

However, I'd change the PSU to this as it performs a bit better and is build better as well while costing just as much  

 

Here is another option (albeit it's slightly overbudget):

May I ask what is the PSU? (new to this)  and I'm mainly trying to order all of it from Pc Case Gear as it's pretty close to where I live

Power Supply Unit  

I only used PCPP to give you an example. I'm sure you'd be able to find similar parts for a similar price on PCG.

By the way, there's not very much point in getting a cooler for a locked CPU when the stock cooler cools it fine but I guess red

Fair enough. You could save $59 if you didn't mind it looking slightly "worse"

Wouldn't mind hahaha, another mate told me he'd change it to the one you recommended

By the way you can get a 1070 for $475AUD delivered at Amazon.com, but it'll take like 2mo to ship
