Hi team! I've had a look and thinking about the following for my build (In the next 2-3 weeks) I'm just not 100% on a couple of things. All prices in AUD.

1) I love the look of the case, the window and the space / layout. Just not sure if there are similar ones at a better price.
2) Looking to buy a copy of Windows 7 and use the free upgrade to 10 (For around $90 on ebay) just making sure this works.
3) Any other ways I could save some money and get the same performance? (I have the 750w psu for future sli however)

Cheers!

see in the next few weeks if intel skylake chips drop to about the same price. it give your rig a little more upgrade path latter on. (drop in a newer cpu). on the gpu right now the older 900 line is a few months is going to be replace with pascal. nvidia is testing there new tapped out gpu chips. for the power supply the xfx are rebranded sesonic unitrs.
