I really had gaming in mind for this PC, thanks for helping. My budget is in the range of 1000-2000.

Have fun playing most all games for the next few years on high+ while recording to that 3TB HDD. Choose a OS and you can change the case if you want. IMHO this build is great bang/buck.

You can upgrade to more if you want, really not needed at all. Buy some monitors and games. :D

PcPartpicker didn't have your case listed, but you know the one you picked. As far as gaming goes, its solid, and very overclockable, once you do decide to break into that. Am I correct you are Australian?
