[Build Ready] It's been years since I've built a computer, how'd I do?
It's been awhile since I've even thought of building a PC, my last and current one having an E8400, HD Radeon 6970, 8gb of DDR2 RAM. In need of an upgrade (as gaming is getting more demanding) and with a budget of $1500 AUD, I put together the following list:

Currently I am gaming on two 900p monitors and will be upgrading eventually, however until then these monitors will suffice. Is there anything I should change? Thanks!
