Hey guys. I have recently started PC gaming after moving on from consoles and looking to build my own rig.

I am basing my build off a pre-built system, however I will buy the parts separately so I can learn the art of assembling myself, and hopefully save some money.

I will have to purchase everything that is required, however I am only chasing advice on the PC its self, not the monitor or any peripherals.

I am Australian, so my preferred website is www.pccasegear.com , as it is an Australian company and the shipping and parts are cheaper for me.

The parts list is as follows:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K

CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212X CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming Motherboard

Graphics: Palit GeForce GTX 780 3GB

Memory: G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

Solid State Drive: Samsung 840 Series 120GB SSD Retail Box

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001

Optical Drive: Pioneer DVR-220LBKS Black 24x DVD Drive

Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Tower Case Black

Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Plus 600W ST60F-P

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 Home Premium 64bit

It comes to a total of $2000 AUD. This is the pre-built price, link is below.
(http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411&products_id=24461)

I would like some advice on this build in regards to the parts and suitability. Basically do the parts in this build:
-complement each other,
-any parts that are excessive in comparison to others,
-could money be saved anywhere,
-any general advice you think I might need.

My budget is $2000-$2100 AUD

I have an alright knowledge with computers, I just lack the experience that you fine gentleman and lady's have.

Im not looking to overclock or SLI, and I prefer NVIDIA.

The computer will be used mainly for gaming, with web surfing. I'm looking to play most games at highest settings, and hopefully have a bit of future proofing.

Apologies for the post length, just trying to give all details

Cheers, Scott

its more or less same as ur build, just my personal brand preference put in there,
the PSU, that Corsair PSU is Gold rated and is Semi Modular and Corsair is generally a better brand for PSUs than Silverstone
that video card is the EVGA Superclocked version that can deal blows with a Titan
since u have some budget left over i would go for either an i7 4770k or a better CPU cooler or an 840 Pro SSD, u can include all of these in if u extend ur budget by about another 100

Cheers for that, i defiantly like the EVGA over the pre-built selection. Your advice is much appreciated.
