Hey everyone!

 I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but I never actually got around to doing it.

 

I just want honest thoughts on this build that I’ve been working on for a while now.

 

My budget is about $2500 (AUD), that’s including shipping. I also already have a mouse, but nothing else (since I am currently on a laptop)

Wouldn't recommend that cooler

 

Go for the Pro 4 motherboard so you have VRM heatsinks on everything

 

get a way cheaper RX 570 instead of a 580 or 1060

 

You don't need a key to install windows 10

Just save up for a higher end air cooler or a 240mm AIO not from coolermaster as their units are low end, hence the low price.

 

Like a D15

Though the H7 is probably good enough for the 6 core
