Hey guys,
I've put together a list of components for my new ATX PC. I am prepared to spend ~$1300AUD on this build and it will be my new multi-purpose/general use machine.
This is not my first build but because this is will be my personal PC I'm being extra sure that I don't miss anything or regret a component choice.
I will be purchasing all the components from PCCG (PC Case Gear).
Here is my public wish-list on their website:
https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lis...
Total: $1,364AUD w/out shipping.
SO. I was hoping somebody could give me the A-Okay for this build. I would also really appreciate any suggestions for improving this build without upping the price tag too much
Thanks!

Good build, but you're spending too much on fan. Do you really need liquid cooling for your build? It a good method but only if you plan to overclock it frequently and you have i7 4th gen.
Get Intel Core i5 4590 for $15 more, it can do better at turbo (3.7GHz) than 4460(3.4GHz at turbo).
Ok on all other stuff. Cheers!
Update: Didn't see you spending $105 on case! That's not required here, only buy if you simply love that case. Get one for about ~$80-90 as Nuckles suggested.

I didn't have a PCCG account so couldn't build one, sigh...Nuckles did a good job though. Just cut on 1 TB of memory and some LED strips and got you 3.5 GHz CPU, R9 280X, which is uberly awesome! The only drawback is no SATA 3 cable, which you may add(only $5) but more importantly no OS! Fit an OS there Nuckles!

I've made a few changes to the list. Check the link above. I've switched out some parts for the ones in @Nuckles_56 's list. I'd still say you may cut on your cooler and case. Btw, just noticed, cutting around $50 on your cooler, $20 on your case and $20 on the LEDs and adding $10 more, you can get GTX 770!

I can justify spending money on all three of these. I'm not a big gamer so I'm not too interested in the 770. If you think everything will work well together I'll go ahead and buy the lot.

To be honest, I would stick with the r9 280x as it gives you just the same performance as the gtx 770 does for less money, allowing you to get better components elsewhere.http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...
How's this?

Ok then, stick with R9 280X, no probs, but the one Dexterthelex suggested is better. Try to adjust it in your budget.Dexterthelex is OP, lol
OMG looks like I'm out of my senses today x|
Anyways, honestly didn't see the changes he made in his wishlist. I was still thinking you're stuck with $259 card. Its a very good build overall-your modified one. Go for it!
