This will be my first ever build. I want to keep it under 850 NZD, and dont wont to buy things from over seas, i mainly just need advice on the build etc, and can hunt around for good prices in New Zealand. I dont have really any knowledge in components but i can get a friend to help me put it all together, hes just not up to date on current components. www.pricespy.co.nz is a really good NZ website which lists pretty much all retailers prices.
