Parts Not Required: (keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (pccsasegear.com.au, but will probably buy local if with in reason. I would rather get the right components than buy what is on a sights particular inventory)

Additional Comments: I'm going for a 3930k for the extra grunt when I start using FEA and for f@h
Intel Core i7 3930K
$599.00
ASUS P9X79 Deluxe Motherboard $419.00
Mainly for the Wi-Fi options etc. over the pro board
G.Skill Ares F3-1600C10Q-32GAO 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3
$259.00
32Gb is truckloads, but if i'm going a 3930 I might as well go large it should pay dividends with FEA, plus my missus wants to use CS5/6 as well.
EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB
$479.00
I'm not sure on which 670 to get, if I can oveclock it myself am I not better getting the cheapest one and going from there or are there cooling issues. Also if it isn't on the list and there is something that is better let me know and I'll see if they can get it in.
Corsair AX850 Gold Power Supply
$245.00
I think 850 is probaly over doing it, but if I go SLI in future it might be worthwhile.
Corsair Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler
$159.00
NZXT Phantom USB 3.0 Case White
$169.00
Looks nice to me , not sure on the cooling benefits but it got an ok review earlier in the month
LG CH12LS28 12X BD-R Blu-ray DVD Combo Drive
$55.00
As long as it works I'm not too worried
OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD
$244.00
I want around 240 for the main drive, feel free to suggest alternatives
Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
$125.00
can't see why I would pay heaps more for the WD black caviar (unless you like race horses)
I think Win 7 pro OEM should be here but I must not have copied it over (it's about $130)
total comes to around $2700, but I expect to get a little discount buying all in one (although not a certainty)
