I am planning on buying and building my first pc in about month. I am working with a budget of around AU$1300 and would just like any advice you can give me on the parts i picked such as if the motherboard i picked will be good and whether i should go with a 760 instead of a 770. I will probably upgrade in about 1.5-2 years. The case im going with is the phanteks enthoo pro but pcpartpicker doesnt list it yet. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/yrZJmG
 
Solution
Try the one I'm geting shipped from germany:
Asus H97 Plus,
Intel Xeon E3-1241v3,
16GB cruical memory 1600MHz,
XFX 750W 80+ Bronze,
Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3G Dual-X OC
WD black edition 2TB.

1286$ recalculated in germany, I'm sure you would get similar prices in the states.

Should handle anything you throw at it @ 1440p and stomp the crap out of anything at 1080p.
