Thanks

Depends on what you are looking to get out of it. I would look at getting a GTX 760 minimum for good settings on higher graphics games. The motherboard you went overboard on. If you're buying a B85 or H61 board you go with the cheapest because even in Aus 120 bucks is almost Z87 territory.
Also, is that PSU a Cooler Master, or is it an off brand called Cooler Power? If it's an off brand I would swap it out before even buying a new GPU.

Hey, the PSU is an off brand yes... I think that the graphics card you selected is a bit to expensive for me. Maybe one under $200? and also what Psu should i get? And i am just a mid ranged gamer. Some LoL and a few high graphics games now and then. I also do a bit of Video editing but not hardcore.

Try the 750ti for GPU.

You want a quality brand. Aus prices are different so shooting in the dark. Look for something 550w minimum (so you have upgrade room). Something like Seasonic S1211 520w, or Corsair CX600, or Antec HCG.

Remember the first time for anything is the hardest. That includes building a Computer System too.
