Yeah I might get one later down the road once I start overclocking and refining my specs. to get more performance. I already ordered all these parts, now I'm poor but hopefully I'll have a sick PC :P

So I've pretty much decided on the parts I'm going to order. I wanted to build a pretty nice gaming rig without spending too much money, and I've pretty much hit a wall with my budget now so there isn't much room to change things round. Anyway, before I go and order all these parts in about 30...

That's my birthday, woo!

I'm looking at getting either the Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6 or eVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR. I can get them for both the same price, each one from different dealers. Just wondering what one would be the better to go with? I've heard about eVGA being really, really good but I would love more feedback on...

Naw too pricey, I picked up the Silverstone one for about $250 less. Really nice case, imo.

It's a cool game, alright in small doses. I just have to be in the mood to play it...

Yeah, hardware is pretty freakin' pricey out here. It's just how things are I guess. We always get the sharp end of the stick with technology. Always a little behind, always really expensive :P

Hmm, after a bit of reading round the X1950 Pro seems like a nice card to go with. A couple of hundred bucks cheaper than the 8800 GTS I was looking at too, haha. I am thinking of going with the Powercolor X1950 Pro as found here...

Hmm, true. What would be a card that would perform the same or close, and isn't DX10 capable?

Yeah, I have a Seagate 320gb in this machine at the moment, it's been going strong for longer than I can remember.

Sure do. www.ascent.co.nz Lookin' at getting a 500gb hard drive, partitioning about 80gb for OS, games, apps etc. and leaving the rest for movies and music. I'm looking at going with the Western Digital Caviar SE 500gb. Good decision? I see everyone talk shit about every brand, so it's...

I live in New Zealand and buy all my parts from an NZ company...I'm not particularly confident in buying hardware overseas and paying\waiting for the shipping. I get free shipping and the parts come next day with the company I'm with now :D Haven't had any problems with em either, except for the...

Ah yeah, I was going with Ballistix originally but changed my mind. I have been reading more good things about the Ballistix RAM so I will probably get me some of that. Though the Tracer type I cannot find from my supplier (I don't think they stock it :() I will probably have to get it from...

Yeah, I wasn't too sure on the Raptor. To be honest, I really don't think I could part with that much cash for a 74gb hard drive, haha. And I think I will take your advice on the 640mb card, cause it'd be nice to be able to play at a nice resolution, and have good performance with DX10. Won't be...

Oh crap, sorry guys, I forgot to specify what is what :P I edited the post now. Green is what I have purchased, red is what I'm planning on getting. This is the case also: http://www.techwarelabs.com/reviews/cases/sundialmicro/ I got it in silver, sorta wish I got a black one now :P. It's...
