Hi,

This is my first build and I'm quite exited! I've done all the research hand I've cross checked everything and I can't see anything wrong but I have no experience. The case added as a custom part down bellow. I can get the case for free and that is why its its marked as purchased and I'm at the TOP of my budget. Maybe $10 to spare and THATS IT! So please no suggestions that cost more unless you can see a way to cut some money as well. Sorry for being harsh but I have no more money I can spend on it.

If you Aussies have black friday sales I would wait till then and then buy the parts and use the saved money to get a bigger GPU. God those prices are insane I was looking at the build thinking that something looked wrong and then I saw that it was in Australia. Other wise go for it although I would try looking for a bigger used GPU online.

Thanks! Black Friday isnt really an aussie thing but some shops will have sales to take advantage of the date. The sales here in Australia are on Boxing Day - but not sure about online Sales. Boxing Day is day after Christmas and I do hope they have a sale :Cheese:

I was hoping to get a Radeon R9 270x. Is if worth the extra $50 or so to get it or will the 270 do??

The jump from a R9 270 to a R9 280 is pretty big I would definitely make it.
