- The CPU cooler that comes with the CPU is sufficient
- Equipped the build with a better motherboard
- mATX case that suits this build
- Much better price/performance rated memory
- 8GB graphics card, RX 480 8GB competes with the GTX 1060 6GB. If preferred the GPU can be changed to a GTX 1060 6GB.
- Higher quality power supply (The CXM series 450 watts has more warranty and performs better than the older CX series)

The XFX RX 480 GTR is one of the highest quality RX 480's you can find. For 400 Australian dollars that's quite a deal.
