I'm planning to build a PC but I can never decide what parts to get, I plan to play Overwatch and maybe some of the more recent titles. My budget is $950 AUD.
Hence use the au PCPartPicker

The budget includes a monitor, keyboard and a wireless adapter...

Here's the build I'd suggest for top performance in most games at 1080p@60fps, including a FreeSync monitor. Excludes keyboard + Wireless adapter though.

I edited this build a little, would this still be good?

Just made it an RX480, changed the PSU for a cheaper and reliable CX-430 and just changed the RAM (little cheaper).
Do you think the 480 is a better choice instead of the 470 for what I am going to play?

$50 Wireless Adaptor? Do you specifically need Wireless AC support or the super high max speed? If not grab a $15 TP-Link 300 Mbps. I highly doubt you are on a network faster than 300 Mbps to need the high bandwidth on the expensive one and Wireless AC would be the only other reason to get it which is also not a common feature i would say.

Oh I'm just looking for low ping in an adapter not intrested in the download speed that mutch. Will the $15 adapter be enough then?

Could you suggest a good SSD with 240GB then?

Yeah for sure, i use LAN Cable myself now but i was using WiFi from 2 rooms away from the Modem for a year on a TP-Link $15 adaptor, similar to the one in that build but only 2 antennae and i never had connection issues and ping was pretty close to what i get now on Cable. Obviously Cable has better but i probably wouldn't notice the difference in ping between the 2 of them in-game.

Yeah ok, I was looking at Amazon and I found a lot of parts on the site. After changing to AU I noticed its cheaper, I just changed the Corsair PSU to the EVGA PSU and it looks fine. I made sure that they ship to where I live as well. Would this work?
