Opinions please

[Muhuyama]

I want to build a gaming PC, I already have a mouse keyboard headset and WiFi card, but would like some opinions on this build. Going to build mid year so if GTX 1180 comes out I will grab one of those. Looking for $3000 AUD approximately. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/hYX3yX

just gaming?

[Muhuyama]

Also I am not getting the fan for airflow, rather so I can populate the side panel, as i think it would look nicer.

[Muhuyama]

Pretty much, also small amounts of coding and general use

EDIT: am new to this, started today i have no idea how to use this but have quoted below

Case design has come a long way since the Phantom 530 hit the market. The current trend is for more open designs with large tempered glass windows. RGB lighting is also quite popular these days.

That does look nice, but i wasnt sure about the SNPR White, didnt really know GALAX, are they trustworthy. Also, Is that CPU cooler worth the price? Wasnt sure about the ultra quick boot drive, so im fine with that. The case looks INCREDIBLE, but i dont know about the very limited drive bays, is that a worry know with such huge hard drives? Going to check some reviews on the case. Thank you, it seems like ill be getting a very nice cpu and more colour matching.

 

EDIT: looking at reviews, apparently there is limited airflow in the front panel, should that worry me

you're only using one 3.5' bay so it's enough, you can get another large HDD if needed or use an external one instead. airflow is fine, no need to worry about it.

good luck with your build mate

Thank you

 I know, just wasn't sure what I liked, and it had a lot of storage, big fan of the recommended case though

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/VMP9r6 How does this look to you (willing to dish out $50 for a ssd that is 2x quicker). Sorry to continue this, just wanted to ask. Still not 100% abt the SNPR White though, but ill do some more research

the faster ssd is unnecessary, you won't feel the difference unless you're doing heavy video editing/rendering work. rest are fine.
