So for my build i do not want to upgrade my graphics card any higher as the 280x is severely more expensive towards my budget build, and i dont intend to fully max out games..
I have updated my build...
- Case: NZXT PHANTOM 410 WHITE MID TOWER: $125
- CPU: Intel i5-4690K – $277
- CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 – $88
- HDD: Seagate 2TB – $93
- SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB – $84
- RAM: G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3-1600 8GB – $100
- MOBO: ASRock Z97 PRO4 ATX – $150
- CD/DVD Writer: Samsung 24x Writer – $25
- PSU: 750W FSP Modular 80PLUS Gold – $145
- Graphics Card: Gigabyte 3GB Radeon R9 280 – $259
Total – $1346
Fits my budget and i have all i need just wondering if anything is bad?
These prices are off https://www.arc.com.au/
I really like the case, that cooler has really good reviews, the fsp seems good, also im going for a white case and blue component theme. e.g. blue motherboard, ram etc..
Any response would be great! THX! :D

You only need a cpu cooler if you plan on overclocking, you can just use the stock cooler for the time being and use the money on a 280x, then save up money after you've built the pc to get the noctua nh d14 later on

What cpu cooler do u recommend? Is the hyper 212 evo any good because on the website (arc) they say its got 40,000 hours of use and the hyper 212x has got like 120,000!? (Hyper 212x cost more tho)
Cheers

First of all the tri x isnt on arc.com.au and secondly its getting a bit expensive.
Is it worth the extra money for a 280x than just a 280?
Im not going to be playing any higher than 1080p because ill have to buy a 1440p monitor, wont i?
