Hmm, doesn't seem like the Sabertooth is available in Australia, but there is something called Rampage that might be the equivalent. Here is the link to the Australian Asus site - ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards That Crucial RAM is a lot more expensive here for some reason. Geez I wish...

Awesome, thanks heaps for that. It seems that most of the brands I used last time are still up there so it should make it a bit easier picking parts. As the prices Australian dollar is pretty close to the US dollar at the moment I am happy for you to post US links if you want to suggest me some...

Hey guys. I am looking at a building my second computer but I have fallen behind in the latest pc technology. I used this forum to build my first computer and it was a great help to select the right parts. For my new build I am looking at spending about $1500 Australian Dollars, which at the...

Yeah the first one scared the crap out of me playing it in the dark. Haven't got a chance to play the second one yet, but probably won't if it sucked.

+1 for Samsung monitors. Just bought a 22" and it's brilliant.

I got a KVM switch off ebay and it works a treat. Just press a button to switch over.

Very tempting to buy one of these.

Is my GPU too old/slow to fold with?

Ok no worries, I will look at getting the 5770 when I get the money. If I was to wait for the 5850 to come down, would that be compatible? Also you mentioned my CPU might hold me back. Are the new CPU's compatible or are they a whole new socket?

Is it in the Programs > Startup folder?

Lol! I didn't even pick up on that. So is the 4890 better than the 4890? Were you talking about the 4890 but just got the numbers wrong? So I assume your recommending the XFX HD 5770 (Juniper XT) then? Also I looked at the Graphics Performance List thats posted and them seems like the new...

Ok, well I compared some XFX 5770 cards on NewEgg and there isn't much difference between the two the same price, but a bit of difference with the more expensive one. Should I go for the XXX one? XFX HD 5770 (HD-577A-ZNFC) (Juniper XT) - Newegg.com - XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper...

True that. I think my PSU does have a couple of PCI-E connectors so that should be fine. Is it better to get the next gen card or do you think by the time I'll need it, I would probably want a better DX11 card? I think it might just be better to go for the 4890. Also, will I get a lot better...

Cool. Would I need to up my power supply for these graphic cards or would my 550W be enough?

Thanks for that guys. So I assume I will have no problems in terms of compatibility with these models? Are ATI the better cards atm? Yeah the 5850 is around $350 to $400 here so yeah a little bit too expensive, but the 5770 and 4890 are only around the $200-250 mark which sounds good. Is there...
