Is This A Good $1650 AUD Gaming PC Build

[Th3DerpyC0w]

Hello, I'm trying to work out a good gaming pc for around $1650 AUD. I have tried to create one but I don't really know what parts have the best value for money and performance. Could anyone tell me if it is a good build or suggest some parts that I should change, thank you.

So what games will that be able to run? Do you reckon.

 

[Nuckles_56]

Any game you want at 1080p maxed out and probably 90+ fps or 1440p almost maxed out and 60 fps

Ok thank you, also will all the parts look good together (I also am a sucker for the looks of the pc).

 

[Nuckles_56]

It should look pretty good, there will be orange-red coloured heat sinks on the motherboard, and the RAM has red highlights on it as well, but everything else is black. It should look pretty slick, especially seeing as the case has a window in it as well

Is it supposed to be red because the ram is blue?

Would it be possible to change a few things to make it have red so everything looks the same?

Want to know something cool? This is just as fast as the previous list for far cheaper. RX 480 is 5.5 teraflops.

Here's another option. More expensive, but RX 480 is faster than GTX 1080 in games that use crossfire efficiently. Not bad huh? GTX 1080 alone in Australia is $1300!

Is the AMD RX 480 Good For Gaming? And What Games Would It Run?

 

[Icaraeus]

RX 480 is 5.5 teraflops. Faster than the GTX 970. It would run every single game in existence high/ultra settings at 1440p. It's US$200 (AU$250). There's a 8GiB GDDR5 variant as well (standard is 4GiB GDDR5). 8GiB GDDR5 is likely $300.

Ok So These In Crossfire would work well, and when are they being released?

 

[Icaraeus]

A couple weeks time

 

[Th3DerpyC0w]

Would two 4GB cards be good? Also could I change the motherboard to an atx one?

 

[Icaraeus]

I would go with the 8GiB GDDR5 variants. Yes, you must use ATX motherboard for 2 video cards. Forgot to change the motherboard from mATX, sorry

Thats ok, would this run GTA V with Ultra settings?

 

[Icaraeus]

Yes it will.

 

[Th3DerpyC0w]

Yes it will.

Also will it do some average Video Editing and Photo Editing(Not 4K) and will the processor be powerful enough?

 

[Icaraeus]

Video/photo editing is largely CPU bound. The GPU is mostly irrelevant. If you want to do video editing, go with an Intel i7.

Ok I will probably just stay with the i5 and upgrade later(if possible), what motherboard would work?

 

[Icaraeus]

The PC build I already gave you supports everything you need

What about the motherboard its not atx?

 

[Icaraeus]

It still supports 2 GPUs.

 

[Th3DerpyC0w]

Oh ok would it all work in an micro atx case? And would the motherboard be able to change to go with the red?
