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:
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/2G8Sf

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.


In Topic: nintendo NEXT GEN console specs LEAKED (RUMOR)

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.


In Topic: “Nintendo was dead to us very quickly” says EA

23 January 2014 - 01:49 AM

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.
