K so I posted here a few months back. Back then I had a budget for about 1400. A lot of people told me to wait because there was alot of good upgrades coming out within that month. I wasn't planning on waiting but time past by and I thought I might aswell.
So now I'm back with a bigger spending amount.

Budget: 1600pref but can push 1700 if the extra $100 is a big difference. (Keep in mind I'm in Australia and we tend to get ripped off with computer parts also a new monitor/windows8 will be bought within this budget.)

What I need it for:
Gaming (Not streaming)
Video Editing

What I'd expect:
To run any game on 100% max settings comfortably.
To not overheat (so add some sort of fan/cooler that u recommend)
A good amount of data space.
To be able to keep up with games and programs in the near future (aka not be slow with games that come out a year from now)
A power supply that won't blow up xD

Put simply I want the best comp possible to build within the 1600-1700 budget.

I will give fg to the build I end up choosing and to people who help me decide on certain parts that are the best for my price

I WILL NOT BE OVERCLOCKING

Thank you in advance.

/e Power supply is extra big so you can add a 2nd video card in the future.

Thanks but part of the 1700 needs to be used on a monitor/windows 8. This is going far 2 much over budget.

A bit over budget. You can save $100 by dropping to an R9 290 for the GPU, but you would lose current and future performance on games.

Someone told me awhile back but I have forgotten now... How do ssd improve the performance? Is it needed for what I require basically?

Also do ssd sort of act like usbs in a sense that when u save things on them it doesn't slower the performance on your pc? For example when u fill a hdd and it starts hindering the pcs performance does it do the same if u filled a ssd? If it does then is there any good solution to this?

SSD's should only be filled to about 75% capacity for consistent performance. Of course, each individual drive is different, but that's a good general rule.

As far as improved performance, they decrease boot, shut down, and application load times. This is, of course, only true of the OS and applications installed on it. If you want to, you can drop the SSD completely. If you've never used one before, you won't miss anything, but after using one I could never go back.

So with that build which seems pretty powerful is the power supply u put down enough to handle it nicely? That's the only part of your build that I'm sort of iffy about but then again I don't know much about power supply's. if it is I might go with this build and maybe tweak some things.

Not sure if there is a better site for getting PC parts in Aus, but I use:

http://www.pccasegear.com/

We get so ripped off for 980s
Don't want it was just curious but.

Thanks though Ill compare prices with this site once I know my build 100%

Sooooo anyone know whether that power supply is suitable?
