I bought all my stuff at once from PCCaseGear so I would check that out. PCPartPicker provides info on parts you want at the lowest prices available but that often means ordering from half a dozen different stores at once so I would just buy it all from one place as you'll save a bit on shipping.

^Usually I'd go price breakdown by merchant, find the cheapest two and limit the selections to that going through the parts again. it's not that difficult, but it is a bit tedious.

I live in Sydney and found PC Case Gear to be more often than not cheaper than anyone else, been shopping there for a while and so have many thousands of people, i check prices on certain parts and just keep finding PC Case Gear to be for e.g. $100 cheaper on graphics card like when i was shopping for an R9 290X Tri-X OC, PC Case Gear has a lot of 5 star reviews, they are very reliable, cheaper than any other Australian based store and their postage is great, i put in my whole build and only got $60 postage and thats a $3200 REALLY high end build, good lucky with your build :)

my main problem is i was planning on building it myslef but a hop nearby does that with good cabling and tests it for hours and windows is also like 200 bux which could improve on other stuff

If you add the shipping costs it's definitely cheaper to buy it locally from an AU electronic store.

I guess if you want to you can ship it but all the customs tax, shipping costs and the long wait just seems like a big hassle, this gpu is good and cheaper in AUS
This is the US price

This is the AUS price
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn...
Only around $100 more, if you shipped this card from US to AU you would end up paying around the same and you would have to wait more so I think buying this card in AUS is more worthwhile.

Theres no actual Australia store and/or warehouse to post from so thats simply USD converted to AUD but theres still shipping and postage and customs tax and so forth to pay for, and Australian prices go down after a while especially on PC Case Gear, so its just not worth buying from America overall
