New $900 build for bf3

[xl-caliber]

Hello,

I live in central queensland Australia and was wondering which website is the best to buy my arts from. So far I only know of pccasegear.com.au so I used them for my reference prices. My budget is about $900 including a decent keyboard and mouse which I havent listed below. I just quickly copy pasted the webpage so it might look a bit messy.
These are the parts I have in mind so far.
Thanks in advance.

If your in QLD, i can highly reccomend http://www.msy.com.au

You also dont have a HDD on that list, do you need one in your $900 budget

 

[roblaw42]

If you do need one, you can get a Seagate Barracuda 1 TB on Amazon for $74.95 USD which is much cheaper than the ones you will find on newegg or any other website. HDD prices are skyrocketing right now because of flooding in Thailand so buy the HDD ASAP.

@jdwii
That hard drive is now $120 which changes your total to $940.

Perfect example of skyrocketing HDD prices.

@jdwii Newegg also doesnt ship to Australia. We miss out on all these cheap deals

>.<

Ps: Will you need an O/S ?
