AMD / Nvidia Custom Gaming PC (Australia)

Hey Guys,

First time custom pc build, i have already put up one of my intel custom build, which seemed to have a few problems, iv decided to go with AMD as they are alot cheaper option. i mostly play MMOs but still like to play all types.

Please have a look at what i have picked to put in my pc and let me know if i should change anything.

CPU: AMD FX-9590 8-Core 4.7Ghz [FX Motherboard Required]
Motherboard: ASRock AM3+ 990FX-KILLER
RAM: Corsair 8GB 2x4GB 2133MHz V-Pro Black CL11
Case: NZXT Guardian 921 RB Blue
Power Supply: Cooler Master Vanguard 1000W 80+ Gold
Primary Storage Device: Samsung 120G 840BW EVO
Second Storage Device: Seagate 2TB Barracuda
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 780 TI OC 3GB
Sound Card: Asus Xonar DGX Gaming PCIE
Network Card: TP-Link WDN3800 N600 Wireless Dual Band PCI-E
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i Liquid Cooler
Operating System: Windows Pro 8.1 64bit

I have also added another 120mm fan to ensure it does not overheat while im gaming for long periods.

I was also wondering if these would be good to get as im replacing all my old equipment which iv had for a while:

Razer Vespula Dual-Sided Gaming Mouse Mat
Saitek Cyborg V7 Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G600 MMO Gaming Mouse
BenQ GL2460HM 24" LED 2MS / 1920x1080 / D-sub / HDMI / DVI

Please keep in mind everything is AUS is more expensive and we have limited choice. ill probably have a few more build up before i choose as i still have a few weeks.

Thanks

What is your budget and where in Aus are you located?
Some suppliers are cheaper than others depending on which city you live in.
Are you building yourself or getting it built for you?

Don't get the fx 9590. Not worth the extra money in my opinion. You could get a 8320 or 8350. You're already investing into a good cooler anyways, overclock it to the 9590.

This is good pc, I'll have a look into it more, I'm just worried about it overheating as it only has two fan within it, would it be worth getting a crossfire pc to improve the performance of my game?

vinnimad1993 :

What resolution are you planning on gaming at? More power is never a bad thing, but if you're only gaming on a single 1080p monitor, it's probably overkill.

For a pre-built system it's good and you're only charged ~$100 for labour. Two fans should be fine, the cpu is liquid cooled so you've only got to keep the mobo and GPU cool, but i'd probably add a second front fan just to make sure you have positive pressure and considering it's a micro-ATX rig, a bit of extra airflow will be good.

I'd still prefer to build my own system, so you can cherry pick parts and do some of your own modding. It's really easy to build your own PC. There are a ton of guides and you could probably get it done in a single evening.
Something like this would be pretty easy to put together and a bit unique as there aren't a whole lot of white builds, but i just picked white because of the case, you can go for other colour schemes.
