Ok, I've asked this a few times on this forum, but I have changed my mind on a few things and updated prices. Is this a good build, and can I make it any cheaper? This includes all fans, cables etc. I'll be buying from MSY in Australia, as it's close and the cheapest. Prices in $AUD.
Mobo: Gigabyte H170-HD3 $156
PSU: Antec EDGE 80+ Gold Full Modular 650w $159
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce Gtx 560 Ti (Friend giving to me) $0
GPU (If Friend's one is insufficient): 4G R9-380 MSI GAMING $319
CPU: 1151 Pin Intel i5-6500 @ 3.2GHz $274
RAM: 16G Kit (8Gx2) 2133 G.Skill Ripjaws-V $100
HDD: WD Blue 1 TB 7200rpm WD10EZEX $68
SSD: SanDisk PLUS 120G $55
DVD Drive: ASUS DRW-24D3ST Black 24x DVD-RW Writer (OEM) (If another friend cant give one) $17
Keyboard: Corsair Gaming STRAFE RGB Cherry MX Brown $182
Case: Corsair Carbide USB 3.0 SPEC-03 $79
Wireless Card: TP-Link Archer T6E AC1300 $69
Monitor: 24" 2ms Samsung S24D300HS $159
Antivirus: Kaspersky TOTAL SECURITY OEM 1 Device 1 Year (with CD) $12
Thermal Paste: Thermal Compound Noctua NT-H1 $11
HDMI Cable: Partlist HDMI-HDMI Flat 2Meter $4
SATA Cable: 1M SATA 3.0 Data Cable Cablelist $3 x2
Cable Ties: Partlist 15cm Cable Tie 50pcs $1
Antistatic Wristband: Partlist Cordless Anti-Static Wrist ESD discharge Band $3
LED Case Lighting: Thermaltake AC0032 Red Lumi Ccolour 12 LED Strip (Red) $6
USB Extension Cable:Cablelist CL-U3AMAF2M 2 Meter USB3 Externsion AM-AF Cable $6 x2
Case Fans: DeepCool 120mm LED case fan Red XFAN120 $8 x2
Total: $1710 (W/O R9 = $1391) on 15/5/16
Will the power supply last for a long time including upgrades (and maybe a dual-way CrossFire because my friend that's giving me the 560Ti is upgrading in Christmas for a GTx 1080, and he might give me his R9-290x. I might give one of MY friends my 380 if the 290x is better and my PSU can't power 2 GPUs.
Building at the start of the school holidays / my birthday, so GPU prices might drop on the Nvidia end because of the 1080, so I might go with Nvidia if they're cheaper.
1920x1080 monitor, high / maxed out at 60fps, overclocking isn't necessary (only if I get an increase on performance by a big amount) but will overclock GPU. Case must have side window and at least 4 fan slots as Australia gets hot in summer, but don't need the fans now.
I'm upgrading because I currently play on a laptop with a GT 745 M, which can hardly hit 60fps at 1366x768 in Team Fortress 2.
