Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming: CS:GO, Arma, Total War, Shadow of Mordor

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

Probably going to go 1080P 60hz and I'd like to keep my FPS in games like CS over 200. I don't plant on using ultra settings on taxing games like Mordor and will adjust to keep my FPS over 60 if necessary.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Well I'm in Australia so it's going to cost a bit more but I want to keep it under 2K

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Australia

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Is a link ok? http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/Tje9

I'll just put the current build below incase. It is definitely going to have some changes.

Case Be Quiet! Silent Base 600 Case Black $139
PSU Be Quiet! Straight Power 10 600W CM Power Supply $159
Monitor Acer S240HL 24in Widescreen LED Monitor $179
Total = $1743 (without Operating system)

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding reasonably priced stuff in Australia so if you're from this upside-down place help finding stuff for a good price would be greatly appreciated.

My case and ram can probably be a better price and I think I'm going to change them but I'm currently happy with my video card and CPU choice.

I'm unsure as to whether I should get a cheaper PSU or not.
