Hi, this is my build of a max of $2000 AUD.
If you have any suggestions for it please don't go over the mark of $2000 (10 or so dollars will be accepted) because I originally aimed for $1500.
Also for the processor, I know that for gaming you shouldn't need to upgrade to an i7 but I might do some casual youtube videos and edit them, would it be smart to just go for the upgrade?

Remember that the currency is Australian.
You'll want a Z77 motherboard, and an HD 7870 should be around the same price as that GTX 570 and performs better. Everything else is personal taste pretty much, for the keyboard though look around for a Cooler Master Quickfire Pro. It'll probably be a little bit more expensive but it'll last you longer with mechanical switches.

If it's only for a hobby, I wouldn't recommend jumping to an i7. If you get into it more later down the line, then wait for your next upgrade.

One more thing I missed, for the SSD go for an Intel 330 or Samsung 830 64gb, or if it's cheaper just get a Crucial M4 64gb
Okay thanks, but with mechanical keyboards they always have too much of a clicky noise for me, is the quickfire silent?
And the ssd is only for boot so I have faster start up.
The Quickfire Pro has brown switches, they're a less clicky version of the blues which are generally the loudest. The Quickfire Rapid has red switches which are arguably the quietest ones along with blacks, and they don't click halfway through the keystroke like blues/browns do, but the downside to the Rapid is there's no numpad on the side.

OCZ has some shoddy SSDs, a lot of people experience drive failure after a few months with them. Intel, Samsung, and Crucial make far more reliable drives.
Ahh well I've updated to an Intel SSD and change to a Quickfire Rapid; I don't ever use the numpad that much and it isn't a loss for me. If I ever need I can buy a seperate numpad anyway, thanks for your input, it's highly appreciated. (:
Get a Crucial M4 if you can - though I wouldn't say that OCZ's SSDs are bad.
I wouldn't EVER recommend getting a "Gaming headset" - they're usually quite worthless and of bad quality. For headphones, post here: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1160541[/url]
