Hey Guys,

Its been a long time since I've built a new pc and im looking at starting with the cpu, ram and motherboard first off then upgrading my gpu and water cooling later on.

This is what im currently planning on purchasing p.s AU prices  

 

 

Gigabyte GA-AB350N-GAMING-WIFI Motherboard $179

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX with Window Black $109

AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Processor with Wraith Spire RGB Fan $429

G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-2400C15D-16GTZR 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 $229

$996 with delivery 

 

Any suggestions or ideas would be great, this is currently the only Mini Itx motherboard available in Australia i can find. 

 

Thanks Jarred

Evolv Mini is a terrible case. Go for the Define Nano S.

What are you doing with the pc

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Haha I'll see what amd throw at us. But so far it's not looking good. Was going to try and get a GPU below $1000AU. Seen a few 1080's with a water block for under $850
