Do you mind building your own PC? I can make something more cost effective/powerful than those options.

I am open to building my own. How long does it usually take to ship each part and then how long does it take to build it?

i posted the build above. you'll like it.

that depends on from where you order it. it wil like ordering parts from amazon, NCIX, etc. like ordering any other thing you order online.

I think that will end up costing quite a bit, I need to get it shipped to Australia and the prices on the websites are all in US dollars, I think i might have to go with a pre built system. Which would you choose?

i don't know how much that would cost in a prebuilt system. probably quite a bit more. The 970 is the best card out there save the GTX 980 which costs much more than the 970.

that CPU is very nice for gaming and will last you for at least 3 - 4 - 5 years depending on the games you play. better than what you'd pay for that pre-built system.

Is there a cheaper option for the video card? I think thats a little to much, maybe a 2gb?
