So, I've decided I want to make myself a gaming pc.
The budget is about $1300 Australian dollaridoos.I want my pc to mid-high end, to be able to run most games at 1080p high settings. I am not looking to overclock. Here are the parts I have decided on so far, any thoughts and options would be appreciated! If there are any better alternatives of parts, that aren't too much more expensive , please comment them bellow.

I made some tweaks: shifted you to the newer i5-8400 6 core cpu, cheaper RAM, same case for less, and less expensive power supply, faster, larger SSD and larger HDD
