Yeah, I was gonna say $2000 USD you're rolling in it.

Also, Sydney?

Nope. Small Country town in the western district of Victoria.

I was told that Broadwell was gonna still be LGA1150.

I assembled this computerbox on PCPartPicker:

Total comes to $2064.21 (aussiedollars, of course)

This is by no means price-efficient, because I used all the mainstream e-peen components, but I'll give you the high(low?)lights of this computerbox.

- H87 Motherboard means no overclocking, even if you wanted to.
- Since we're dealing with stock clocks, watercooling didn't seem necessary to me.
- Your computer will operate at a max of ~440W, but I chose a 550W power supply in case you want to slap in more hard drives/RAM.
- If you're not into the 650D, cases can only get cheaper from there.
- Wasn't sure if you wanted a Blu-Ray reader, so I picked one anyways.
- Windows 7 Home Premium only supports up to 16GB RAM, so on the off-chance that you want to download more rams, you'll have to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.

Neato. This is pretty much everything I wanted.

Still I was thinking more along the lines of a 1-2GB graphics card , but if 3GB is what you would recommend than I guess I can make the investment.
I guess the Blu-ray would probably be a good addition, but with everything going digital I might just buy a standalone Blu-Ray for my TV instead.
But... I might get a better motherboard, but i'm not sure whether I should.


When it comes to cases I was thinking something along the lines of BitFenix, but what ever is good quality will do.
Here are some cases I have been looking at:

Anyway, thanks for your help so far.




Edit:
Just going to add a list of graphics cards that are a possibility:

*Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition

*Gigabyte GV-N760OC-2GD REV2.0

*GTX 780

Bout time

Seriously wasn't it enough that he caused $22,000 worth of damage to his neighbours house from egging it JUST LAST WEEK.

Then there is the long list of things before it, does this kid ever learn.

I think it's safe to say this can be taken with a truckload of salt. Nintendo simply has too much in the pipeline for this to be worth the investment, they would make a greater loss if anything.

Firing Iwata isn't the solution, what they really need to do is rethink their direction.

Maybe it's just me but I would consider Nintendo to be appealing to a "broad" audience rather than a "kiddy" audience, I guess it doesn't really matter since EA is trying to cater for gamers like they were mindless children.
