hi this is going to be my 1st build. i have always use my brother's pc where he does everything and i dont konw nothing while his pc is getting old and sick of play ut3 with lowest setting and they still look like cheeseblock or lego. so i guess its time i step up and build one.i hope i can build it on lowest budget but if the same item with better performance i guessee i can spare a bit more,i konw i havent been specific with the budget (i actually dont have enouge money for anything right now so have to save for the next month) but i would like to last me 5 yrs so prob a sli mobo?so if any of u can justify why i should choose this over the low budget then please specify you point of view any help would be appreciate thank you
this is going to be a gaming machine mostly ut3,cod4,suprem commander (fps,rts,rpg)
I need to know, Whats your budget?Video card is too expensive. You can get a 8800 GT for $267, and a 320 Hard Drive for $80. Dont get nothing from this online store, is too expensive. Search hardware from www.pricegrabber.com, you will save lots of money. This processor are too slow,and expensive, memory as well for having two high end video cards, will bottleneck You can get a E6550 for same price. Power Supply sucks, theese power supply cant SLI or a single card, overclocking and probably too noisy and will fried your system. you Dont need sli for this monitor. You only need SLI if u are going to game at resoultion 1920x1440 and higher. So save money. It looks u dont know what the heck you are doing. Tell me your budget and I will configure a pc for you.

ok, ill just give the hardware to get, and you search on your country online store. So, how much will it be 1000-1500 nz in US dollars? They are lots of online stores that ships world wide, but check shipping charge and see if is worth it. Here on US are online stores that charge free shipping and no tax. Try www.newegg.com. I usually save about $130 on computers shopping online, than my local electronic store.
