First Gaming Rig Planning Recommendations

[AceD]

Hey Guys

 

Looking to build my first gaming rig for 2000-2500 AUD - roughly 1800-2000 USD.

 

Here is my build at the moment.

Please leave any reccomendations/tips and tricks - I'm trying to go for a Red and Black theme.

That is an amazing build! As far as I can tell, there is nothing to change.

Seems like a great  build if you want to go team blue. 

What do you plan on doing on your pc? ( seeing if ryzen makes sense for you)

Ram seems a bit over the top, maybe get a cheaper kit and invest the savings into a 1080ti? Also have you considered ryzen, whilst it wont give you any huge performance boost now, once games are properly coded to support more than 4 cores ryzen will give you a huge fps boost

Although it should help in multi-tasking as the game will have access to cores that also need to handle background tasks

I was originally going to get the ti however I was warned off of it by my friends of how the standard 1080 is more bang for buck, and I put that money into a 1440p 144hz monitor
