Under AUD$1000 Gaming Build Opinions & Suggestions

[Auss1e]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm planning to build a gaming PC build under AUD$1000 (Australian dollars) and I think I've got a pretty good one but I'd like to get some opinions and suggestions on the build.

For example if you think there is a better part out there around the same price range (again, in Australian dollars please) then reply with it. Also please feel free to give any opinions you might have on it. All feedback is greatly appreciated. I've already gone a little over the price but the max I would spend on the build is AUD$1,200

 

The part list is as follows (will be updated if I add new parts and all prices are in Australian dollars):

CPU: Intel - Core i5-7500 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($258.00 @ Shopping Express) 
Motherboard: Asus - PRIME Z270-P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($185.00 @ IJK) 
Memory: Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($177.00 @ IJK) 
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($63.00 @ Shopping Express) 
Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card 
Case: Corsair - 200R ATX Mid Tower Case  ($81.00 @ Shopping Express) 
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($129.00 @ Scorptec) 
Case Fan: Cooler Master - SickleFlow (Red) 69.7 CFM  120mm Fan  ($13.75 @ Skycomp Technology) 
Monitor: AOC - I2279VWHE 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor  ($149.00 @ Scorptec) 
Total: $1055.75

 

Thanks!

No need for Z270 Motherboard with locked i5, R5 would also be better to buy. Try to push for an RX 570 also, much better value than the 1050ti.

get the kaby pentium and a 1060, then upgrade to a 7700k later

Also get a 24inch VA for the same price as that display.
