Im new to this website, so apologies if this thread is not in the correct place.

I want to build a Gaming/SonyVegas Desktop which will run games like Battlefield and Total War 60FPS High-Ultra settings.

Here is the build from PC Part Picker:

I was planning an Intel build, but the recent GPU Shortage has forced me to make ammendments.

Only thing I would change is the WD to a crucial mx300 275GB. Crucial makes the most reliable SSD plus its 25GB's more for a 1 less.

Hi Elbert. While it was about a month or so ago, I think the Crucial 275gb was my original choice but it went out of stock, forcing me to find an alternative. It has been quite a while now so I'll check the online store when I next get the chance. Thanks!

I'd swap the case for a Phanteks Eclipse P400. If you want high end gaming, with 1080, then consider jumping to Ryzen 1700.

It is completely possible that I can upgrade to a 1700 in the future?

When it comes to CPU...I'd just get the one you want...not a placement holder until then. The 1700 is an awesome CPU and at time I think I should have gone that route...although my build is only for gaming, not editing.

It looks good, but you'll be paying upwards of 1800 for this build.

Also, I don't [strike]love[/strike] know much about that PSU, here's one that I think is very good and cheap: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817151096

Total budget in AUD including OS?
Around 2k?
