Hi guys, as this is going to be my first pc build, I am anxious to keep it on a tight budget.

My budget overall is $1250AUD, I would really like to have this build for around or under that.

if you dont want to OC, buy non-K version of CPU.
new haswell i5 4440 + B85 mobo will be cheaper

I was planning on overclocking, the original build had a haswell i5 4670k but it went to ivy bridge as it was cheaper

I absolutely love the case you picked out and i would love to have it, but because you asked for cheaper on the build i recommend the same case i am using, an NZXT 210 Tempest. It has a TON of room for long graphics cards,(im running a gigabyte windforce R9 280X with plenty of room to spare) and it has excellent airflow. It does look way more impressive in real life than the photos, and it is a lot bigger irl as well. It has no frills unlike your case, but the low key dark black finish makes it look sleek and nice in that regard. Here is the link, i bought it for 39.99 but its still a good deal at 49.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168....

Also you could buy cheaper ram and get the same real world performance. I recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Lastly that power supply is overpriced if your planning to buy it from the website you linked to. I found it cheaper on newegg here is the link to that http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168.... If you were just linking to that site so we could see what you were wanting to buy disregard this.

Whatever you decide to go with i hope everything goes smooth and that you enjoy your first build as much as i did:) .

Thanks Man, I hope so to,
Trouble is, everything in Australia is soooo overpriced (Because Australian prices are retarded), I will switch out the parts and see what i can do, thanks for the advice :)

No problem, i was helped a lot when i started out to build my rig so im just passing that along now:)  I feel kinda stupid, i completely missed the AUD after your budget. That sucks Australia is so overpriced, i wish you luck in finding good deals on everything and once again wish you the best with your build.
