Approximate Purchase Date: Within two weeks
Budget Range: Less than $500 AUD (I'm in Australia)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Typing on Microsoft word, Surfing the internet.
Are you buying a monitor: YES
Parts to Upgrade: NO parts to upgrade, I'm building an entirely new computer
Do you need to buy OS: YES, MAYBE WIN 8
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: pc part picker? Australian websites, so probably scorpion or something.
Location: SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA.
Parts Preferences: Nothing in particular but I really would like a not too big computer case, pure white in colour with no windows or see through gaps.
Overclocking: Probably not.
SLI or Crossfire: No idea what this is, so most likely no.
Your Monitor Resolution: Nothing in particular, just big and cheap
Additional Comments: I want my computer to be fast, run fast, BE QUIET, and have decent memory! And physical things that I see must be colourful like my monitor and my case.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Because my old computer is so damn slow and so damn loud.
BTW I saw this thread called bestconfigs poll, and found this build. Is it okay for my needs?

I have no idea if those parts are available in Australia though, and the case will definitely change because it has to be colourful in appearence.
OF COURSE I am very welcome and will really appreciate ANY suggestions at all! If you have an idea for an entirely new build, go ahead and please tell me! I am NOT an experienced computer builder so I am very much grateful for any help and tips!
