Hello,
I'm currently trying to build my first custom pc, I have done a lot of research but am still really unsure of what is compatible with what and what brands have better build/design quality and was hoping for some guidance.
First off I should state that for my budget, I would prefer to keep it under $2000 including peripherals but I wouldn't be upset if I go a LITTLE over that for an awesome build. My purpose for the custom build is for gaming/IT study (career pathway) & general internet surfing ie. youtube etc all at high resolution. Also I have the intention of over clocking once I gain some more understanding of how to do so. I'll be purchasing all parts from Umart in Brisbane.
Here is my current list of parts:
CPU - Intel Core i7 4770K LGA1150 3.5GHz 8Mb Cache Haswell Quad-core - $395
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - $38
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H/Z87/4 x DDR3/6 x PCI-E/1 x PCI x SATA3/10 x USB3.0/HDMI/DP/DVI-1/2 x GBLAN - $292
Memory - G Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz PC12800 RL 9-9-9-24 (CL9D - 8GBRL) - $98
Storage - Seagate SATA3 3TB 7200RPM Barracuda 64mb Cache - $130
Video Card - Gigabyte GTX 760 OC Edition PCI-E 3.0 4GB 256-bit DDR5, Base: 1085 boost:1150/6008 MHz, 2x DVI, HDMI - $365
Case - CoolerMaster RC-942-KKN1 HAF X 942 Black No PSU - $199
Power Supply - CoolerMaster Thunder Series 700W - $89
Wireless Adapter - TP-LINK TL-WN951N Wireless N PCI Adapter - $29
Data SATA3 Cable - BitFenix 180Deg, Sleeved SATAIII Cable with Lock, 30cm Black/Red - $9
Optical Drive - LGE CH12NS30 Black Blue Ray HD Combo - $68
Monitor - Asus VS248H 24” 2ms wide LED w/DSUB DVI-D HDMI - $185
Keyboard - Thermaltake Challenger Pro Gaming - $62
Mouse - Razer DeathAdder 2013 Gaming Mouse - $50
Total = $2009
Have I gone overkill on anything unnecessary or if I have over looked anything important. Also hoping I haven't left out anything important i.e. cables etc. I'm chasing best bang for my buck within my budget.
Any help provided would be much appreciated.
