Hi,

I have just decided i will switch from console gaming to PC gaming. I have never built a pc before so I'm not really sure how this build would be.

My price range would be $1000 to $1500 I'm also in Australia but any site would do .
This is the build I'm thinking of, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/22AlF so please list your opinions and if you could improve it that would be great.

I dont need a monitor, os or a keyboard and mouse

Using the newer Haswell processor and motherboard.
Overclocks decently.
Only need 2gb vram at 1080p.
