You shoulda put prices on each bit. Did you put it together in PartPicker?

You need a H97 mobo or i5 4690k cpu. Make up your mind whether you want to overclock the cpu.
If you do, you'll want a custom cpu cooler eg coolermaster hyper 212 evo.

Get the Seagate Barracuda version HDD

get 1866 1.5v, cl9 ram - cheaper.

The rest seems OK

If you just want to save money and get the same or a little better parts you can get a good build at 1000 dollars. ANd it would still destroy your build. Here you go: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/RX73gs

The power supply seems to be for ATX not for Micro-ATX, does it make a difference?

I am sorry if I am using the forum wrong, only joined recently.


I do not plan on overclocking, all the builds are great. Do I need a cooler if I do not overclock?
If I plan on getting a GPU for Phsyx what would you people suggest?

You wouldn't need a custom cooler if you don't overclock.
Do not ever base your gpu selection on Physx. Anyways I put in a gtx 760 in my build. Which is a great card. However if you can spend 10 more bucks go for the r9 280x. Because Physx is used by barely a handful of games.
