$1200 AUD Gaming Build - For a Friend

Hey guys,

Need a little help for compiling a build for a friend. With the crazy prices down here in the land of AUS, been having a bit of difficulty deciding on the components.

Purpose of build:
- 1080p gaming
- Dota 2, Diablo 3 (not very taxing games, but would like to have headroom in-case he changes his mind down the track)
- Needs a monitor, SSD+HDD and Windows (kek)
- Budget is $1200 AUD

Here's something I came up with earlier. Although feel free to absolutely change everything haha

Some jumping up and down on it to get it to fit in the budget box was also involved.
