Budget: $1500 AUD (or a little higher)
System Usage: Mostly gaming, some movies and some music.
Parts not required: monitor, mouse, keyboard, headset, operating system.
Overclocking: Maybe
Monitor resolution: 27" 1920x1080p
I would like to play most game at high to max settings (Battlefield 3, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, etc.).

PARTS THAT I LOOKED AT:

CPU
Intel Core i5-4670K $269.00
CPU Cooler
Noctua NH-U9B SE2 $59.00
Motherboard
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming $199.00
Memory
Corsair 8GB $89.00
Storage
Samsung 120GB SSD $109.00
Seagate 1TB 7200RPM $75.00
Video Card
MSI GeForce GTX 760 $339.00
Case
NZXT Phantom (Black) $159.00
Power Supply
Silverstone 750W $145.00
Optical Drive
Samsung SH-224BB $19.00

Total: $1462.00

I might go for 2 way SLI in future. Please give opinions and how does a GTX760 perform on 27" 1080p monitor?

Go with this, slightly cheaper but pack a better GPU. Some of your parts were overpriced and some were redundant such as a $200 MOBO, do you really OC that heavily to justify such price? You can chose the Phantom if you want, just switch the Antec to NZXT case and the price will be roughly the same.

The Corsair PSU in here is a 80+ Platinum, the best of the bunch at the same price.
