Good day,

PSU: Silverstone ST75F-P = $138.00

Mobo: Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 = $149.00

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K = $235.00

System Usage: Gaming, possibly film rendering and voice recording.

Overclocking: Yes, but not by much. Not incline to take great risks with my first build ever.

SLI or Crossfire: No, I heard SLI is inadvisable if your intent is to game on a single monitor.


Well ladies and gents, have at it. Any advice, opinions, exclamations, criticisms and/or berating is entirely welcomed and encouraged.

I'm buying the majority of the parts from Umart, and picking them up locally, and I'm using different online stores (based in Australia) to acquire the headphones/keyboard/microphone.
