CPU:E7300

MOB: EVGA 750i SLI FTW

GPU: EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 SuperClocked

RAM: OCZ 4GB Kit 6400 Titanium

CAS: CoolerMaster RC-690

PSU: Corsair HX-620

HDD: Seagate 500 GB SATA

OPD: Pioneer 216 SATA

I think it's pretty awesome, will be able to SLI in future. Just wondering if I could have got comparable stuff for cheaper or better stuff for the same price.

Do you think the E7300 will bottleneck the GPU?

Came to about AU$1650

did u build it yourself? If u did does that include monitor, OS, software like anti-virus and MS office? if not u over paid. that machine should be only about 1200 from pre-built and 700-800 built on your own. no the xpu shouldn't bottleneck it...... tho the aus dollar is pretty low right, but still not that low is it?

yeah the exchange rate from CND to australian is about .83 so if it was 1200 CND prebuilt which would be the correct price it should be around 1400 AU. I guess alienware might charge about 1400 because of the graphics card but still... you must of got software with it right?

Nah, these prices are about right for the Aus Market. I looked at MSY and CPL (renowned cheap pc parts for Aus), and I would have paid maybe $50 more than that, plus I got much better warranty and service from where I went. Im building it myself and already have monitor, and software. I know its a lot but I reckon it'll be worth it

I don't get how this seems so outrageous $1700 includes shipping. Have a look at prices for these parts in Australia, they cost loads. Look at cpl.net.au msy.com.au or pccasegear.com This easily costs at least $1600
