i was just wondering i there is anything i get cheaper on this build without sacrificing quality and whether i should get a 780 instead of a 770.
Please keep in mind these are Australian prices i am looking at

Looks ok.
For 1080p, the GTX 770 is fine for playing ultra settings with some extra settings turned down.
With the GTX 780, you will most likely be able to run max settings with 60 or more fps on most games.
If you want to save a bit more on the power supply, the Antec 620M is enough.

Also this motherboard is cheaper and is still fine.

Thanks for the reply

I picked a 650w gold power supply because i want it to last me a while and it didn't cost much more than the antec

Everything i have read up on about fatality boards don't give me a very good impression and its only $10 cheaper which isnt a big difference. Do you think a under $100 motherboard would be okay to get?

I wish there was some indication as to when the gtx 800 series is being released because knowing my luck i will buy this mid july and it will be announced at the start of august xD

GTX 800 series is delayed to 2015.
The Asrock Fatality board are decent and equal to the MSI H96 Gaming 3.

Would overclocking potential be worth the extra money i would have to spend?

Thanks for all your help

With the build you currently selected, you can not overclock the cpu and only the gpu. However, overclocking only gives a small perofrmance increase that may be unnoticeable. See overlocking as a hobby.

Your build looks great , nice choices.

Best 780 in your opinion?

@Leewizzle: what's your budget?

Leewizzle · Jun 13, 2014

AUD$1000-1500

ksham · Jun 13, 2014

Do you plan on overclocking? That point was mentioned but will you or will you not overclock?

Leewizzle · Jun 13, 2014

No I don't plan on overclocking

Geez, computer parts in Australia are so expensive. :S I don't know if you want to be too close to $1500, but I just went for best price/performance. Also, the link you provided didn't show the PSU price so I don't know if you already have the PSU so you don't have to buy a new one, or if you need to buy one. I included it into my price.
