how does my new build look?

[mcle]

Hi guys
I am planning on making a new PC that will be made primarily for gaming. i want to make it some time in the new year and am planning on having it have these parts.
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/mcle/saved/#view=9WqFf7
+ Cooler Master V750-850 - power supply
+2TB WD HDD + Kingston 120gb SSD - Storage = I already own them

I will also probably just use the free upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10. i will do this after the build because I have head that Win 10 doesn't work if you change certain parts of your PC.

I am up for ideas however, i would like to stay in this rough price-range and as I live in Australia I would like for the parts to be from this store.

Should be a good build, I'd look to Asus, the Rock or GB for the mobo, won't build on MSI due to poor QC

 

[mcle]

Thanks I'll look into it. Do you have any recommendations that centrecom have in stock

GB -- GA-Z170X-UD5 (rev. 1.0) or GA-Z170XP-SLI or GA-Z170N-Gaming 5

Asus Z170-A or Z170 Pro Gaming or Z170- Hero (my pick )

Rock - Z170 Pro4 or Z170 Gaming K6

Remeber you can price your stuff up in aus dollars on PCPartpicker.

Check this; I think the budget compares fairly well.

I prefer the gigabyte gaming 7 board due to the beautiful white and red design but this board is awesome especially for the price.

sorry, for how long it took me to reply but, I was out of time and my phone wouldn't let me reply.

the D3H looks good but i'm trying to go for a red and black colour scheme. do you think that the hero is really worth the money seeing as i won't be doing much or any over-clocking, or is the pro gaming more reasonable, seeing as I can save some money by going with it.

Is the Define S a better choice?

thanks

I'd personally Pick up a Gigabyte Gaming 5 board if you don't wanna extend that far

 

[Tradesman1]

Both are very good, the Pro gaming would be fine

 

[mcle]

ok, thanks guys, i'll pick up the Gigabyte Gaming 5. what do you guys think about the NZXT Kraken X41. Becuase if i get that, then I think i'll actually overclock

 

[Tradesman1]

That's a pretty decent AIO, should be fine

 

[mcle]

thanks, for all your help i'll run with this build.

I'd personally run this,

ammendments: PSU is overkill downed it to a 750w Silverstone PSU which granted is slightly lower quality but a tier 2 power supply isn't bad at all.

CPU cooler: Though the NZXT 140mm cooler is okay, it hasn't got the performance of a super sick aircooler or a 280mm liquid cooling unit. Also the Fractal design define S doesn't make any performance difference but looks a little prettier to me.

The RAM is every so slightly slower but looks nice and runs great, as well as being like $20-30 cheaper,
