I was planning on building the PC with these items, but thanks for letting me know that they are a rip off. Not really, I just wanna game mostly since I already have like two laptops for just browsing and other stuff. Was gonna play on a 1080P LCD TV in my bedroom and a 1080P monitor in my other room.

Might make this instead if I can find the parts for like $726.44. Does it sound like a good deal?

Keep in mind these are Australian prices.

That's a good build for the price. If you want to spend a little less, you can always go with a HD 7850 or GTX 650 Ti Boost; you'll still be able to play most games on mid-high settings easily.

Probably cause he does not want to build a PC and wants one off the shelf as it's more user friendly that way.

LOL.
He clearly is asking people to see if his build is good.

He said "good deal" which implys to me it's a pre-built off the shelf.

Haha that doesn't mean to say its a pre-built one.
He is posting individual items he wants in his build.

Here is the other thread o_O

No offense to the OP or to anyone who commented saying it was a good build, but you guys clearly missed something in the first post...

HDD Internal 2.5" 320GB 5400rpm Toshiba

I'll just leave that there. There is no reason you should have a build like that without at least 7200 RPM HDD or a SSD. Also why are you getting a laptop harddrive for a desktop computer? You went over-priced on every other part of that build and cheaped out on the harddrive. That's a horrible move.

Your second build on the other hand is a lot more reasonable and actually solid. Although personally I hate Antec PSU's but that's your decision.

It's AUD....

1,171 AUD = 1,129 USD not much of a difference FYI

Prices for parts in Australia are more expensive, and there's less selection.

Why have you made another thread?
Me and InfectHead InfectHead gave you a good setup.

I just figured that making this post as back up in case the other thread wasn't gonna get anymore posts and no one would answer the question if I posted it in there. Thanks for all the help anyway. I was gonna get this instead:
http://gyazo.com/a11fc11d3a65ec4689a0ae32c0fe9fac, but would rather just get a PS4 and Xbox One for that price and still have left over money.
