Hi I would love some help with building a new PC. This is my first time choosing parts so I'm a bit clueless. It will be a gaming PC that runs fps games that can also record from time to time.

Restrictions:

  • - $2000 budget; but the cheaper the better without limiting too many frames.
    - I don't want to purchase online so I can only buy parts from Western Australian stores like PLE.
    - I have a GALAX GEFORCE GTX 750 TI Black OC Sniper 2GB video card that I want to use.

I tried my best at making a build but I could use some guidance, here's the build I came up with. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Zgcxcc

What I mostly want advice on is whether everything will fit in the case and any compatibility issues I probably glossed over. Note: The video card on the build is different to the one I have so the specifications are different.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No offense, but that is a terrible build. The FX is a weak processor and an outdated. Even when overclocked, it will be outperformed by the i5. You've overspent on the storage. That money would be put to better use by getting a better graphics card and higher quality PSU. The GTX 1060 is a much better gaming graphics card and is a more suitable match for the Asus monitor.

Thank you for the help. I really do want to use the graphics card I already have so I changed the monitor to a simple 1080p/60hz. As long as nothing else needs changing then this build looks perfect. :)
