Hey all, gotta love this forum...

Now, I need some advice.. I've chosen some parts but they arnt finalized.. Want all your oppinions on these parts, and if you have time.. look at that site and find a replacement.

All the parts are from the same site for shipping reasons, so unless I reeealy have to I dont really want to go to another site just to find something like a evga 7900gtko (even tho that'd overprice my system)

Remember my budget is $1300 AUD as I live "Down Under".. all these prices are in AUD so dont go into a shock and be "your getting ripped off".. These are pretty much the cheapest prices in oz.

--------------------------

I'm welling to say.. drop back to a Intel Pent d 805 and change afue parts (like go with a asus mobo to overclock that pent d 805.. or some more ram whatever).

Remember, tell me what you think of these parts, wether a 6600LE is pure junk when there is a x1300 pro twice as fast (no idea) or something like that.

Thanks in advanced.
 
Edit, SOrry, just realized you are "down under" this is in USD


dont go e6300 , that is the allendale core i beleive and not the conroe core. shell out the extra dough and buy a e6400
 
ok, I re-did what I'm getting, made comprimises to get a level'd system with plans to upgrade for the futur.

Keep in mind that I do have a price range, so if I should change parts.. be it to a cheaper one or of equal value (unless I drop back in other area's)

Once again I say, remember all of this pricing is in AUD so dont be surprised if it looks a little b it expensive.
