didnt i make that in other thread, its seem awfully familiar.

anyway i find this site really cheap for australia.
GameDude Computers OnLine Store get something along the lines of this

asus p5Q (dont have ds3. but doesnt matter bot hare good)
q6600
640gb WD HDD
4GB Gskill PI
HIS 4870
seasonic 430w psu

total 1034, just add optical drive/case and ur set. this wont allow u to use full 16x Xfire only 8x (who cares, dont get Xfire) and any mobo can have a wi-fi card its just a pci expansion card.

dude if you spend over 1 grand (1.5k being the max after mail in rebates) you are wasting your money, thats all am gonna say.

1500 is a good price to spend usually, its just that now all the hardware is relativley old and prices are low. dont forgte australians prices differe alot.
