hey sinci, I'm in perth too. When I bought my rig I got it off Foxcomp and Ple (parts build). You can get a q6600 for $255 from Ple, a 9600GT for $186 from Foxcomp. For some reason the links you gave in your first post aren't working for me, so I can't check them out.
staticice is a good way to find the cheapest stuffs in australia.
 
Thanks Soulphire =]
I'll give it a look.
The links I posted before were from Austin Computers (I'm sure you've heard of them).

and sif I didn't know you were in Perth >_> :]
 
UPDATED LIST
Changes to date: PSU and RAM

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400T (I recommended a Q6600) $269
GPU: 9600GT 512MB PCI-E2 Leadtek $215
MOBO: Asus Mainboard P5KC $175
CD/DVD: Sony AW-G170S $42
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tracer 6400 2x2GB 800 $160
HDD:
500GB 3.5" SATA-II Samsung (x2) $214.50
CASE: Cooler Master Mystique 632S $141.21
PSU:
SilverStone PSU 500W $95.36

TOTAL: $1312.07


*edit* Can someone please clarify if the FSB difference between the two CPU's do make that much of a difference?
Q6600: 1066Mhz
E8400: 1333Mhz


AND, would getting one HDD (1TB), be better than getting two? (500GB)?



Thanks SOULphIRE, that website is really good =D
 
Two hard drives are better than one because you can RAID and if one of the drives fails you can back it up with the other one.

Also as i listed before i would look at this site : NetPlus Micro Computers

They have slightly cheaper prices and are only a 5 minute drive from Austin

In the end wouldn't it be better to save that $50 and buy a game or something?
 
Ooo those prices are cheaper =]]
Thanks.

I don't understand what RAID is =\
Neither does he xD

I look around on the forums for a definition =]
 
RAID is useless technology unless used with SCSI drives. All it does is take your 2 drives and makes them act as 1. Depending on which RAID Array used it will eithe rput part of the data on both drives or Mirror the data on both drives making the 2 drives useless as you would only get benefit from 1 drives space that way.

That is good if hard drives were prone to failure early and often. But they are not. The stirpped method with putting data on the seperate drives is useless. Cause if by chance you got a virus or 1 of hte hard drives was defective and crashed. You would lose yoru data.
