So I am looking to build a new mATX computer with the capabilities of heavy Photo Editing and Gaming at the Highest Settings at 1920x1080. I am hoping to Overclock to around 4.3Ghz and the system will be fairly quiet. My Budget is $2000 Australian. and all purchases from www.pccasegear.com for shipping purposes. I will not be going SLI/Crossfire currently but might be in the future to run 3x 1920x1080 monitors.

This is my Build so far:

I will not be needing a: Monitor, Optical Drive or Operating System.

Thank You to any replies and any help given.

So anything else you need? I looked at your link and compare it to pcpart. If you don't need a fully modular PSU the antec that I chose is semi modular and is manufractured by seasonic so its really good quality for the price.

The mouse mat and LED lights are wastes of money. I think Razer peripherals are overpriced and overrated for what you get - you can get better for less money. I personally like the Gigabyte Osmium for keyboard and then for mouse the Thermaltake Level 10 and Mad Cats R.A.T. 5.

Otherwise the rest of the build looks good. I would suggest a GTX 780 but that might put it way out of your price range. I say go for it.

looks good.

I use the same razer mouse pad and its pretty good.

The only thing I would do is get a 250gb SSD if you can. Trust me, with games now being 10+gb and photo editing software being even bigger, you will run out of space, fast.

I have modified the Build a little bit so I now have a 250gb SSD and no mouse pad but I have Down Size fro 2 tb to 1 tb because of money and I have a spare 500gb hard drive to use.

Thank you for the replies.

Well if you want to do SLI in the future, your board doesn't support it.

I put some items on here, you can fill in the rest and see if it fits within $2000, I left some ample room in the budget as I'm kinda confuse by your ram choice o.o.

+ 15 + 52 + 143 Peripherals + 125 case + cooler 109 = 2027 total

^ think I didn't miss anything.

edit: forgot to mention the ram, I noticed your ram had higher latency, the set I picked has CAS 9 but same 1600mhz so will run better.
