Is the gaming Rig good? Planning to run medium to high settings on games. (60fps)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Parts: $1243 (Umart) - $128 (PCCaseGear) = $1371
-Shipping: $42 (Umart) - $29 (PCCaseGear) = $71
-GST $14.27 (PCCaseGear)

-Total: $1456.25c

I think PCCaseGear's shipping/GST is a high amount to pay for 2 item's. Umart is $42 for 6 items & Pccasegear is $29 for 2 items, more than double the price. So I am thinking I should give up on PCCaseGear and try to find new items on Umart.

Because when I use it I open the sites that are the cheapest & I don't see any mentions of it being an au site. (I am using the au part picker when I am looking for stuff)

Those shown by au.pcpartpicker are all Australian sites. Those for other nations go in different PCPP sites, for example the UK gets uk.pcpartpicker.

This. And you can limit to stores you like.

 

As for build, I recommend looking for another case. P300 has very poor airflow in general. You also don't need aftermarket cooler, stock is fine for locked i5. If you want to have aftermarket cooler for some reason, 212X is not best pick for price/performance. be Quiet! Pure Rock is cheaper, its also from PC Case Gear and is in any way better choice from sub-$50AUD range. Thought Pure Rock Slim will also do and its even cheaper.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^
<-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar -->
vvvv Who's there? vvvv

I will change my cooler to the one you've recommended and I will look for another case. Thank you.
