Making this thread for information on alternatives or upgrades on the parts I've selected. Not sure if a SSD would be needed for the money and I could probably buy one later. Is this an adequate build?

This is my local store:

power supply swapped out slightly larger unit that better priced. also swapped the case and mb out. in a few days the newer nvidia gpu may be dropping.

Budget? (AUD)

I think what you've got is OK Except - I'd get an Asus VE248H instead and an ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 or Asus Z97-A mobo per http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mainstream-gaming-z97-motherboard,3824.html

and if you ever want to overclock, get a Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo cpu cooler

This setup costs more but with these parts you shouldn't have issues. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/D8ygZL

I swapped your mobo, RAM, SSD. You can save money on a CD/DVD writer by downloading the OS to a USB drive and installing it from there.
