scorptec is too expensive IMO. Go to MSY instead (they are literally one street away from scorptec)

www.msy.com.au

Anyway, how much do you want to spend, and what are you going to use it for?

 

[sTATICO7]

I live in country NSW and the nearest MSY is 400km away. I am buying off scorptec because they had the best prices online that delivered. Also they have a good reputation and their website is easy to use.

My budget is around $2000AU. I wont be using my computer for gaming and I wont be overclocking. I will be mostly be using it for downloading music/movies, watching dvd's, watching TV, recording TV, running two websites and basic photo editing.

It would be good if you could give me some advice. I am planning to buy my parts within a week. Thanks.

That's a fine selection of pieces, nothing I would do radically different, and it's all compatible.

How much does it add up to (I'm too lazy to do the math myself)? AU$2000 is a lot for a non-gaming, non-overclocking build. And by the way, with a better video card, that'd be an excellent gaming and overclocking rig .

 

[sTATICO7]

It adds up to around AU$1950. It cost more because I brought a better power pack abd case and also have a tv tuner and vista. My original build which was similar except it was P4 and XP cost $1600. I thought that if I spend a little more on the newest parts it would last a lot longer.

 

[Meithan]

Well the price seems a bit high, but you don't live in the US. I think I know, above all people, what it is to see prices 20-30% higher than in the US. One just accepts the fact; there's nothing else to do.

Also, going Core 2 Duo is much better than going P4. It will definitely last longer.

you can find stuff cheaper

Oh I forgot to mention StaticIce in his previous threads, but you will definitely find the lowest price on all the parts. Just find one that delivers.
