Just wanted some thoughts on the parts I have picked out for my first ever PC build. Aimed for $1000 but dont mind that i went a little over, and also want to keep the white theme. May do a little gaming, Also hoping to upgrade some parts in the future. Buying the parts from www.mwave.com.au, Have limited parts due to being in australia. -_-

Thank you in advance.

Few changes i would make (and some issues that should be addressed):

CPU > Look into Ryzen, they offer great Gaming performance against the i5's and typically superior rendering capabilities.
GPU > I'd try squeeze a RX 470/570 within the price if you can find one they offer 50%+ more Performance.
PSU > Low quality, do you have the Corsair CXM 450 or what other selections are available around the price?
MOBO > No need for a Z board on a locked CPU, these boards are for Overclocking and have no value to your system, swap to a B250 for cheaper.
RAM > Your Motherboard/CPU use DDR4 not DDR3 RAM, you need to change this.

Hope this helps

I just used PCPP for pricing. Basically following CRO5513Y's edits, and changed PSU to high quality.

i have always been more of an intel person though. its just what im familiar with.
Apart from the obvious missing cpu cooler and the video card, how are these parts?

would suggest u to get a high speed ram like 3000 mhz and up ur ssd to 240gb. 120gb gets filled up fast.
what abt gpu? u already got a cooler?
other parts looks good.

get the dukase if its availale, probably cheaper than my choice of case here.
would suggest a 1x8gb of high speed 3000/3200 ram now and then upgrade to 16 gigs later if budget is tight.
would suggest the ripjaw v 3200 ram for that.
