Hey guys can you tell me what you think of this build.
Any tips and advice would be great as well:
CPU:Intel Core i5 4690K
Motherboard:ASUS Z97M-PLUS Motherboard
Graphics card:EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB
Memory:Kingston Hyper X Fury HX318C10FBK2/8 8GB (2x4GB) Black
Storage:Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
Kingston HyperX Fury 120GB SSD
PSU:Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 600W Power Supply
Case:Cougar 5G01 Pioneer Mid Tower Case

I want to try keep this around $1500-1700 AUD as well ?


( I don't plan on overclocking this pc which is why im not interested in a cpu cooler)
 
Solution
- get a better CPU cooler, like CoolerMaster Hyper EVO 212
- instead of Seagate, get Western Digital
- instead of Kingston SSD, get Samsung 840 EVO
- PSU is of enough power, but mediocre quality: get XFX or Seasonic 650W, or Corsair RM650
- change case, this one is quite average. Check Corsair, Coolermaster, Fractal Design and Antec, just to name a few.
Yeah guys first PC and I am also 17 haha
finished school about a month ago and it's all ive ever wanted to do just the saving part of it which is annoying ;D
stuff these laptops ahah also thanks heaps guys for all the help!
Was that case i last posted good btw?
And also what is the lowest price AUD i should go for a case fan 120mm i've seen some 9-15 dollar ones which are great for my price range but not sure if they are silent or not if you could reccomend one from pccasegear site that would be great!
 
case should be fine although i havent really heard much from the company only make a small amount of cases but i allways try to find something with the brand name which is why i have the cm 690 ii advanced nvidia edition case sweet case but costs alot
