System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Movies ect.

Parts Not Required: OS, Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon

Country of Origin: Australia (I wish to buy small, light parts in the USA and bring them back to AUS while I am there)

Parts Preferences: AMD / ATI

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Monitor Resolution: Current 1600 X 1050 (looking to upgrade but no advice needed)

Additional Comments: Please read first post to see my situation

For gaming and stuff you can get a Phenom II X4, it's cheaper and even faster than the 6 core. That one's good if you do some heavy video editing and such but for your needs a quad is great.

That Gigabyte is good, it has crossfire, dual BIOS and whatnot.

Thanks for the advice, how is this processor?

OK I think I will get the Gigabyte one then. Unless the MSI is worth the extra money or not, I have no idea.

Get one of those

You indicate that you were going to be in the US, if so check out if there is a microcenter near where you will be staying.

May be a safer option, you can assemble and verify that everything works (would need a el cheapo keyboard)

I have family in the USA and I will send the items to them, I do not think I will have an opportuinty to test if the components in the USA so fingers crossed them work I guess. The amount of money I will save in the USA makes it worth the risk (I am talking hundreds thanks to your bad economy).

So I shall get the Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2 GB DDR5 GPU but still not 100% sure about the processor. I would like it to be in the $150-$200 price range (so either phenom X4 or X6) I guess what ever one is best for gaming is what I want.
And on the motherboard, I guess the gigabyte one unless anyone has any better sugestions?

Yes get a 955 or 965BE and an Asus 890 mobo.
