Hi Guys
I don't have a hard n fast budget as such but didn't want to go crazy over here with a top of the line build. My last PC I built (which was also my first) is about 3-4 years old now. It is starting to play up in all sorts of areas so I thought it best to just build a new one from scratch.
I have an OS disk to load and also a 28" 1440p monitor to mate it with. I am hoping that this build will be a nice enough PC that will give me another 3-4 years possibly, and with the option to perhaps SLI if required / needed at 18-24 month mark.
I don't really have much clue on this stuff so any advice you guys can shed would be appreciated. I will have to source the parts locally (From NZ) but more just wanting to ensure that this is a decent enough build. My preference is for Intel Vs AMD and also Nvidia for a gfx card.

The cooler I will look to get will be the Hyper 212 -but couldn't find it in the picker, but can get here still.
thanks in advance
