Well I know I was helping you in the other forum, that Motherboard is cheaper over at PBtech.

I also built this up for you... its quite a bit more expensive... and you would still need a case. However you get it all from one place.. and it is quite a bit better than what you have picked out there. You picked ou the same CPU but a bit cheaper, so obviously stick with it from the site you chose.

i just dont have that much money though... so that cant happen...
whats wrong with the psu?

 

[lpiotoole]

and whats the difference between the ram i choose and the ram there?

 

[Helltech]

The one you picked out is low end... very very low end. If you pick out a low end PSU it can take other components with it.

You can just get one set of Ram for now, instead of two, that would shave off 70 dollars. I can look into the other PSUs on that site to find a good Cooler Master if you give me like 15 minutes.

Ok I found a really good PSU on another site, and its much cheaper.

So that saves about 100 dollars for ya there. *From what I picked out*

 

[lpiotoole]

oh ok
so the ram i choose will be fine for now?
ok thanks

 

[lpiotoole]

i didnt think that psu's were so expensive... but i guess i have to.

 

[Helltech]

Sort of... but how about this?

Again, you would still need a case.

 

[lpiotoole]

thats still quite a bit over what i was expecting to pay...
the fan is cheaper at alpha city aswell

 

[Helltech]

How about this?

Found out you can save a lot using that other site.

EDIT -

If you need to shave off a few more bucks you can get that.. I wouldn't reccomend it however.

 

[lpiotoole]

i think i will go with this one http://i269.photobucket.com/albums [...] uild-1.jpg and just spend a little more, i dont want to be downgrading it to much

looks like im sweet now, thanks bro

made a list in pricespy for you

http://pricespy.co.nz/product_list.php?do=lista&k=19999

 

[vibhas]

I live in new zealand also.

Instead of pricespy, use gearbot.
It has more stores, and only shows products that are in stocks in stores, so the prices are what you'd actually pay. They're almost always lower too, unless the pricespy price shows an out of stock item.

If you want the absolute lowest price, check gearbot.
change your power supply to an antec neo eco 620W. 120 more watts for $8 more, that'll possibly allow you to SLI (albeit low headroom) in future.

 

[Helltech]

I think a 600w would be enough, I'm not saying that would be a bad choice. But even ATIs over estimated of 5850s says a 600w will do ya.
