New PC build max $3000 AUD

Hey all. I remember my 9800GT being top of the line when I build my current pc, which apparently was 2008 so I'm thinking it's probably time for a reboot haha I'm 90% sure these are the parts I'm after, however any advice would be appreciated.

There are a few key things I'd prefer to keep though. I'd like it if the parts were available from either MSY computers or CPL as these are in the area (northern melbourne AU), and I hate having to wait for stuff to be delivered from online stores I'll give further info into what I've chosen at the bottom of the post.

Other than that, I'm open to any suggestions! My main concern is keeping the costs down, I'm already $500 over what I was thinking in the first place >.< I do want it to be future resistant though because with my money situation it's easier to do a full upgrade every few years rather than incrementally. My main purpose will be 7680x1440 gaming and multitasking.

CPU: 4770k $389 AUD

MOBO: MSI z87 gd65 $255

RAM: G.Skill TridentX 2400 $189

HDD: WD Green 3TB $135

SSD: Sandisk Extreme 120GB $112

GPU: Titan OC $1349 (don't bite my head off yet, I'll explain at the bottom haha)

Case: Coolermaster HAF X $178

Sound Card: Xonar DX $81

PSU: Seasonic XP-1000 Platinum $312


OK!! So yes I have a feeling I already know a few of the things you're gonna say so let me explain first haha

TLDR: The titan suits my situation, the mobo's purdy, the PSU might be needed eventually.

Firstly, Yes the Titan is ~$200-$300 overpriced. I know that. I know in most gaming cases the Titan is easily outmatched by other cards in SLI, but from what I've read it's the best option for large resolution surround gaming. I'm confident that the 6GB Vram will come in handy for that. Especially if I'm able to make the jump to triple 4K monitors within the near future.

I love the design of the MOBO and want to have a go at Overclocking and this seems like a really noob friendly OC board. ...Also did I mention I really love the design? ...probably 40% of why I want the board

The sound card I'm in two minds about. I've read this mobo has a pretty good sound, but I adore my Astro headsets and they need Dolby Digital Live to be in 5.1 surround. Also (I may be wrong here though) with a sound card, am I able to use the onboard seperately at the same time? So like, say I'm gaming with my headset plugged into the soundcard, can I also have a movie playing through the onboard sound and my speakers seperate from my headphones?

And finally 1000w is way too much for me atm, but PSUcalc says I'd want to have around 650w right now, but 850w if I do get around to picking up a second titan. With that in mind, the 1000w is only $30 more than the seasonic p-860w so I figure I might as well get it in case I do go SLI down the road.


Thanks for the advice, sorry for the epic amount I wrote here >.< I'd prefer it if any changes were either the same price or cheaper.
