Logitech makes some excellent speakers as a substitute. Gigabyte is one brand besides Asus and MSI preferred here. An Antec TP II 550w is waiting here for use here at some point. When ordering the case you won't need a supply since you have the Antec model selected.

Being an AMD, Kingston, Corsair, WD fan you can imagine a few changes there would be made here. But Seagate works out far better then Maxtor. I'm a little sketchy on Samsung for monitors preferring BenQ or Viewsonic lately. Look over the response time if you are planning a gaming build there. 12ms is high. 8ms is roughly mid range. And 4ms down to 2ms is great.

Excellent mobo and CPU, I pretty much agree with PC eye except I have a very affordable and, what i think, is an excellent monitor.

Although I did get it on sale and it was openbox, so I got it for 170.00, :-).

these prices are australian so might be a little high compared to u.s prices.

The specifications are the main thing to look over to see if you are getting what you need. If the hardwares mesh good then you have a working system to meet your needs. The latest hardwares will always see the higher price no matter where you are.
