thanks but i live in australia so all the parts are like 30$ or more expensive.. like for eg if its 234$ for cpu its 272$ here also the psu is about 300$ for some reason. so am i just on a rip off website or do i have to get something even cheaper?

huh? you lost me there.Danbuscus25 said:
shipping from outside australia will be very expensive, thats why my build was made with parts from places that naturally ship to australia with no extra cost.oh i know what you mean but i meant that i just needed a little bit cheaper alternate of this psu "Corsair CMPSU-AX860i" because i kinda want to go with the build "deadgraphics" suggested. the psu is about 200$ more expensive in aus than the price in newegg
