Build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/kFW3WZ

Hey I'm planning on building my first gaming PC, I'm looking for some feedback or help if my build is rubbish. I won't be hardcore gaming or anything like that but do want a good General PC as well as being able to play games like cod, skyrim, LoL, HotS(eventually), at above normal graphics.

Thanks

SSD: 250GB. room for all games and all applications.
PSU: Plenty of power. Gold and best manufacturer.
GPU: A 280 is cheaper and higher performance. Asus is at top with others.

bro, you don't need to spend that much on a motherboard and psu, the XFX xxx 750W is only £60 where I live.(don't know how much that is in Australian dollars).I'm begging you, plz don't. Spend the extra and get a 770. It has quite a significant performance improvement and will be better in the long run.

Everything else is great though. Should have no problems gaming with it
