Hi Tom's Hardware!
So here's my new computer build. I plan to sacrifice my current build to keep the case, Power supply unit and other things. This came to under $1000 but I had up to 1K budgeted so if anything could use with a 100 bucks upgrade please let me know! Otherwise it looks like a nice rig for the price, but I would love to hear any advice. It's been 3 years since I last bought a computer so any help would be really appreciated!

...To answer the questions on the forum upgrade advice: Im upgrading so I can play Bioshock infinite in MAXXXX graphics and everything, I want to have all the upgrades finished ASAP, My budget range is around $1000, System usage is 3D gaming and streaming movies through our WDTV, I have a monitor and windows 7 etc, I am in Australia, NOT overclocking (it gets too warm here and so I dont trust myself to manage the heat), SLI nope and dont know what crossfire is, Monitor is 1680x1050, Logitech keyboard and mouse.
Thanks for any advice!
