I have come up with 2 builds one with Intel and one with AMD. I would like your thoughts and suggestions or tweaks or a full new build. I'm trying to keep it in the $1000 range and please I'd rather you didn't use PC part picker as it doesn't include many Au websites such as CPL and Austin Computers. thanks.

hdd- Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003 ----------------------------------------------- = $69.00
op drive- LG GH24NSB0 24x SATA DVD-RW Drive OEM ----------------------------------- = $22.00
