Hey guys,

Approximate Purchase Date: ~1 - 3 Months

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (cod4, crysis, Black ops, mw2/3 & valve games) , Video editing, Multi-tasking

Parts Not Required: OS, Monitor, Keyboard & mouse.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Preferably in the Brisbane Region

Country: Australia (Queensland)

Parts Preferences: Id prefer the CPU to be i5 2500 - i7 2600 (Not a fanboy, just prefer intel) and a decent graphics card.

Overclocking: Depends..

Monitor Resolution: 1366x768 But I would like 1920x1080

I would like 750GB - 1 TB of HDD space, but 500GB is okay.

4GB RAM is enough


Sorry for being picky about some parts This is my FIRST computer build
Thanks

Umm... To ship those parts from America to Australia would cost tons...
I will be using sosofm's parts list, I have bought the case and I'm just waiting to save up some more money for the parts
