Hi -
I'm looking to build a new gaming PC:
-------
1. Used for: mainly gaming. WoW, DIII, Borderlands, occasional FPS. Nothing too twitch.
2. Budget: Around ~AUS$2200
3. Country: Australia
4. Vendor: Likely PC Case Gear: http://www.pccasegear.com/
5. Brand preferences: Intel/ASUS/NVidia
6. Current parts: Dell 2407 monitor (1920x1200). May upgrade to 27" shortly. Mouse/keyboard.
7. OC: Unlikely. Always intend to, never seem to.
8. Rez: 1920x1200 (as above, may upgrade to 2560x1440)
9. When: Now.
-------
So mainly for gaming, interested in a relatively quiet build, replacing a 7 year old machine that is struggling.
My current buy list is:
CPU : $399 - i7-4790k
M-B : $269 - ASUS Z-97 Pro
RAM : $199 - G.Skill Ripjaw 2x8GB DDR3 1600
GPU : $549 - ASUS Strix GTX970 (tempted to get from Amazon for ~AUS$150 saving)
SSD : $269 - Samsung 840EVO 500GB
HDD : $279 - WD Black 4TB
PSU : $119 - FSP 650 80+ Platinum
Case: $119 - Naonxia Deep Silence 1
AUS$2202.
Thanks for any advice.
PS: Been poring over these forums for a while now reading up. Seems like a great and helpful community - much appreciated even as a lurker (good work by the mods keeping it civil too).
