Okay well, went to a few different forums and finally got this:

 

 

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte K8NF-9

 

 

 

CPU: AMD Athlon64 3800+ X2

 

 

 

GFX: XpertVision GeForce 7800GT 256Mb

 

 

 

RAM: Corsair 1GB PC3200 DDR400 (Two of them)

 

 

 

HD: Seagate 120GB

 

 

 

DVD RW: Pioneer DVR-110D

 

 

 

Case: Antec Sonata II

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anywhere between $1800-1900.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, where should I buy the parts from? I find http://www.vtechindustries.com.au to have low prices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No offence but if your getting a system capable of gaming get a bigger HD or a seconday HD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uh, why? I don't need a 250GB.

But I won't be installing thousands of games... 3-4 at a time, play them, when I'm bored of them, uninstall.

4200+ X2 is around 100 dollars more, and is only SLIGHTLY better.

There has been interesting developments in the high end video card market recently. nvidia just launched the 7900GT, and it is price competitvely. Early indicators shows that it is priced only slightly higher then the 7800GT. The good thing is that the 7900GT out preforms (only slightly) the much more expensice 7800GTX. So to sum it up, it is a 7800GTX for the price of a 7800GT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The prices start (using aussie pricespy) start from $499 for a standard clocked card, The cheapest 7800GTX I can find retails for $635. The 7800GT prices start from $425.00,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In my opinion it is differently a worthwhile purchase. I suspect they would be in stock shortly, although prices are certain to drop, as the release matures. The 7800GTX/GT might also decrease in price to move older items.
