first build...

[harub12]

Here is my first gaming build 'plan', any advice or input is appreciated.

Should I change anything?

My budget is AU$1500 (US$1150), and this needs to include a monitor.

Thank you.

don't get a kabylake cpu or an unlocked i5 with a locked motherboard chipset. get a 1x8gb stick instead of a 2x4gb kit for future upgradibility. pcpartpicker can be set to australian.

get OS from reddit for $25 USD.

Don't plan a build out until you are ready to buy or very close to.
