Custom building a PC case for about $1200 AU + $300 for OS etc, screen is irrelevant.
Have so far come up with the following design, any comments, improvements etc.
Computer is mainly to be used for typical everyday tasks as well as running games such as GTA4, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, at a decent resolution at the very least 1024 x 1280.
Build List:
Lian-Li Silent Force 650W $183
6GB Kit (3×2G) DDR3 1600 Kingston $175
ASUS P6T-SE $275
Core i7-920 $364
ASUS Nvidia Geoforce 9600 GT 512mb $109
Seagate 500GB HDD $61
Antec 200 (case) $70
LG SATA DVD Drive $55
OS/Software:
Windows 7 Home Premium OS (64-bit)
Microsoft Office 2007
Told multiples of 3 in ram is best due to tri-linear processing and that would require 64-bit OS.
