OK so i'm thinking of building a awesome comp slowly eg. buy this here, something else there, space it out over a few years.

So i'll need everything but I just need some help on what to buy.

Must-Haves:
500GB HDD
DVD Burner


So what do you think my build should be?

Thanks,

EDIT: I plan to play COD4 and rFactor on it and maybe some more games like those
EDIT2: I'm in australia so the prices in AUD would really help

Your using Austalian and UK sites... :confused:

I'd get more than a 8600, but that's just me.
 
The sites are for the specs and that is what they were there for and the prices are from MSY and the price list link is there.
