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
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 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.
My main Q is might the E7300 bottleneck the gtx 260?? Don't plan on OC so will keep stock cooling. Chose the gtx 260 over 1gb 4870 because was a bit cheaper and seems with new (Core 16) may yield better performance as Nvidia seems a bit better for gaming.
Anyways, any ideas or suggestions are welcome. BTW not going over this set budget as I'm pushing it as it is. Thx
i have a 17" monitor with max res at 1280x1024 but may consider hooking pc up to 42" TV. also I've been reading bad things about CPL and their service, would skorptec or MSY be better options although a bit more expensive?
