Hi
I am college student in Sydney aus studying 2D and 3D animation.

I need a new desktop PC that is 65% for games and 35% for basic maya modeling (low poly renders) and not so intensive video editing/ render.

This is the rig I really want to get but it's just over $1300 and would be really nice if it was around $1250 just to compensate for Aussie tech parts being stupidly expensive compared to US.

Thanks for any advice or feed back.

P.s. I would use the computer around about 8-10 hrs a day mostly gaming time.

Also I already have a monitor (24" LCD LED) with keyboard and mouse.

Hi, sorry to say this (fellow Aussie) that build in Australia will be around 2000$ give or take id suggest waiting a bit until you have around 1900$ and go from there. You could ship from US but shipping would be the price of buying from Australia anyway. Another thing you can do is wait for these parts to go on sale in online stores like www.pccasegear.com and www.umart.com.au http://www.scorptec.com.au http://www.pcmaniacs.com.au id also suggest going to http://www.staticice.com.au/ as it shows the best price for the item you search and it only compares Australian stores.
Hope this helped
