About to build my first PC, looking for feedback before I pull the trigger
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
Mainly computer science coursework and really non intensive gaming at the moment, I've not included a GPU as I don't think it's worth investing in one currently considering the prices and my intended use of the machine, having said that I do plan to purchase one in the future to game on it.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
$1400 AUD (including the monitors)
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!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.
Like I said I won't be using it for anything special at the moment, but in the future I'd like to invest in a GPU and be able to run games well on the PC. Mainly posting here to gauge if anyone can pick up any issues with the build I might not be picking up on myself, all feedback is appreciated.
