I'm looking at helping my friend with a new PC to be used for gaming and a small amount of streaming. I'm not great with picking parts but I tried my best so I do hope someone could help me here.

Approximate Purchase Date: This year
Budget Range: $5000(AUD) After Shipping - Not really set in stone
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Streaming
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: pccasegear and ple.
NOTE: Postage in Australia is horrible so it would likely be cheaper buying most parts from one store.

Location: Western Australia
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 2560x1440
Additional Comments: Case needs a window and would prefer it to be quiet. I would like a red/black colour scheme.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Buying a new build to last 4+ years.

Ye that makes sense. I find it hard to choose SSD's but looking at those benchmarks I don't know how I missed it.


Oh right, I completely forgot about the new intel cpus. I'll definitely look into buying one of those.
