Hey guys, so I've been researching around and asking people I know for the best build I could with $1000. Unfortunately, a lot of AU prices are different to the US prices, and parts are more expensive. Just keep in my mind that everything is by AU dollars.
I plan on grabbing everything within 4-5 weeks, if not earlier. I will be buying a monitor, possibly a G2420HD but I didn't include it into the build.

What do you guys think? The prices are varying, so its been increasing/dropping due to sales and whatnot, but those prices are the non-sale prices at the moment. I'm looking to build it for the upcoming Skyrim thats going to be released.
Any insights would be good. Sorry that it's trouble being in Australian dollars.
