Hi, as the title says I would like a second opinion on my first parts list for my first build. I have a $1200 AUD budget and I really would like to stick near that. I can go $100 over possibly.

Thank you in advance!

Here is the parts list:

What do you recommend upgrading in the future and is this list future proof? The games I'd be playing at the moment would be, CS:GO, Call of Duty, Rust, Wizard101, Minecraft, Mount&Blade.

Hmm $155 seems alright. I have one at home that my dad bought to replace our old monitor on our old computer. I wonder if that could be used? I'd have to get the exact name of it so I can see if its compatible. The monitor is around a year old.

Ok. Well when I get the money for the parts (christmas) and after I build it. I'll find out if the monitor works, even though you said it should.

Thanks :D
