Thanks in advance.

NO GAMING AT ALL.

Budget: To save as much as I can while not compromising with quality so much. AU$1500 including everything.

What site are you using?
And that Corsair PSU should be more than enough.

The builds pretty good.

Stick to the 920. The 860 may be a little cheaper, but the savings aren't worth dropping to the LGA1156 socket. The choice is really between the i5 and the i7-920, with the i5 being better for gaming/budget purposes. For multi-tasking and other uses, stick to the 920.

On the RAM, get some CAS Latency 7 sticks (also known as timings, 7-7-7-x). Usually, there are some 1600 mhz sets, but it might be cheaper to go with 1333 mhz sticks. There isn't much of a performance difference.

I would go with the 5750. I've got that in a media center PC, and it handles ture HD really well, especially if you're not gaming. It's also runs cooler, Crossfires better and is newer, all of which is important for potential future upgrades.

I highly recommend the HAF 922, especially if you liked the 932. It's almost as big, and much cheaper. It's also one of the best cases available.

Thanks for that. on ram I'ben thinking 1333 mhz as well. but i was advised if i wanna do OCing then I should choose 1600. I accept 5750 is much better, I selected that bcoz of budget. but now i am gonna save on PSU. Getting CAS 500 or 550. and put that money on GPU i.e 5750. For case I wanna save at the moment.
