This is the PC's specs that I am going to buy/build:

Please provide feedback or something that would be a better replacement for a certain part. I want it to be around the 1k price range. This build is $1283 (INCLUDING POSTAGE) on PCCASEGEAR,
 

I don't use maxed out settings anyway. I'm quite used to bad graphics due to my current PC which is terrible. In saying that the bad graphics don't actually bother me that much.
 


That's also a good build. The R9 280 is, in most cases, going to offer better performance but the GTX 960 isn't far behind. It also has a much lower TDP and is built on new architecture so it will support DX12.

Personally, I'd stick with the GTX 960 for 1920x1080 resolution.
 

Yeah thats fair enough. I'm more for performance so thats where ill go. Good graphics for me are just a bonus.

This is the finished build unless someone can tell me why to change it:

Cheers bud!

I just realized that I can upgrade to the Intel Core i5 4590 for just an extra $15.

Also decided to grab the white DDR3 as I can use Green LED to make the inside of the case green making it look better through the window.
