And of course Windows Home Premium but will a used Windows Professional OEM work???

BTW All of these need to have International Shipping which I have checked... Should I buy the case here (far more costly)??
I will be buying middle of March... I am looking at getting a 20" monitor anyone know anywhere good???

amazon has cheap towers from $28.99 to $49.99, me i'am getting a Raidmax Altas ATX Mid Tower Case ATX-295WB 49.99

I like the NZXT M59 alot and it is quite cheap .

Looks pretty good, my main suggestions would be this:

- Drop the RAM to 8GB and swap it with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148544

- Hitachi HDs are terrible, get this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148701

- With the money you save on RAM you might want to get this for your motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128498

And then the last thing I'd suggest is adding an aftermarket cooler - something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

Other than that most of what you have picked out is really good.

Ok I have switched HDs.
One question, the seller I choose says "Expedited Shipping Available" but the product still says it can only be shipped within the US. So will it be shippable to New Zealand??
I couldn't find that RAM on Amazon so I selected a single 8GB stick of Corsair Vengeance.
And I switched Mobos, it is actually $20 cheaper . Looks very nice, and it goes well with my case (black).

Update: Switched back Mobo, no international shipping .

Can anyone else see any issues??

No - do not get a single 8GB chip - most Z68 motherboards won't recognize a single 8GB chip - you need 2 x 4GB in order for a dual channel system to properly function.

Ok I will switch it!
