First PC... Thoughts?

I have been planning to buy a PC for the past year now. Never got around to it till now (plan to order in the next two weeks or something). Reason being is I still use a HP Pavillion NoteBook. Which cannot run any CAD software like SolidWorks or Revit which is a pain and half my games I play are on the lowest setting running just on 30fps. And the other half is not even playable. which in short terms I’m looking for a new rig that can play games very well but also render demanding software. Help would be appreciated in guiding me in parts and places to order from. (please feel free to recommend parts to me and stores).

Parts I have chosen are below. (all prices Are in AUD. and are from the store shown on the right).

Components Selection Price and Store
CPU Intel Core i7 7700K $469 / Umart
Mother Board MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard $280 / Umart
Memory Corsair 16GB (2×8GB) CMU16GX4M2C3000C15 DDR4 $198 / Umart

Chivalry: Medievil Warfare - FREE TODAY

In celebration of their latest game Mirage: Arcane Warfare (http://store.steampowered.com/app/219640/) going into closed beta, Torn Banner Studios has made Chivalry: Medieval Warfare(store.steampowered.com) free for the next ~24 hours. Keep forever.

Anyone who doesn’t have this, I can’t recommend it enough. It was well worth it for $20. It’s a no brainer for free. Great IPX multiplayer game.

Howdy Y'all - Steam Link / Steam Controller

Howdy Y’all. It’s the ever elusive Shad
Crazy levels of work, a Reno and bike building ever present… I’ll be glad to finish in the next few months.

You’ve probably notice me “online” in the very recent past/will in the near future.
Having had my console time, but now past it with a solid salute to the PC master race, I’m also punished for my many childhood sins bh having two young boys of my own.

I hate skylanders… somewhere equal to Vans and Naz

And I’m sick of the “we need a PS4…and a x box and Wii.. oh new console!”
I own two arcade machines ffs.
And console games cost a fortune and really are sub par now a days. Requiring net connections. Patches DLC… Jesus the benefits of console over PC are dead.
But there is my kids “I want this game, and it’s not on our console… you suck as a father”
Fuck!
But hang about. I’ve got a gazillion dollar PC which is going to waste in my study/bedroom/storage space/everything else room while a Reno is underway.
