Notes:
- SLI/Crossfire: No

- Parts not needed: DVD Drive (recycling my current machine, constructed late 2008), OS (Win7), keyboard, mouse, speakers
- Prices are in Australian dollars
- Will be doing a combination of gaming, and light graphics + video editing work
-No certain time I'll be buying this (simply whenever I get the cash), hopefully June if things turn out to plan
