Give the exact model number (and weblink if possible) of your motherboard you are intending to buy. It will help us determine if all your parts are compatible.

Dude...go with a cheaper case and get a 4870x2.....there's no need to pay over 300 for a case. Get an antec 900 or something. If your going to spend that much money, get good parts and don't worry about aesthetics.
Also I don't know where your finding these parts but heres that case on newegg and im sure its still cheaper in Australian money.

I agree with Teamhex. That is way too much for a case. The Antec 900 computer case is about $168 about in Australian currency.

He lives in Aussie land. Newegg.com doesn't ship there and prices differ from where he lives... so stop trying to stuff newegg.com stuff down his throat.

I know NewEgg doesn't ship to Australia. I was trying to find the specifications of the motherboard he wants and advise that he look for a less expensive case.

People, since we all live in different corners of the world and therefore all have different currencies and values that differ from other countries.

check out http://www.xe.com when helping someone with a build and you can easily convert currency.

This will help us all be more accurate in offering suggestions.

For example a $65.00 cooler on newegg is likely to be over $100.00 in Aussie dollars.

And a $3000.00 build in Aussie dollars is less than $2000.00 USD

Canada dollars would be about $2450

Lol choke, choke no Newegg is not an option. I kinda remember saying not to go crazy about the prices, but owell.
Motehrboard = ASUS Rampage Extreme X48 Chipset ATX form factor

Don't worry so much on the pricing, just give suggestions. Like the buy an antec 9000 for example anyone knows its cheaper than a stacker 830 no matter what country you live in.

Thanks so far

lol yep it sucks :/

Where you buying from LoneWolf_Spike? MSY?

If you are you can get the new Gigabyte EX58 DS4 for $369 and such. check out the prices :)

Also if you want a good full tower case check the HAF932 :D it's costing around $200 on MSY.

Here's a link to there price list (it's a PDF and it's updated regularly)

I'm buyign online and since I don't live close to MSY I will not be buying from them
The HAF option is my second one if I choose not to go with the curernt and I have already bought a motehrboard

Question: do you NEED a motherboard cooler as in NB or SB or can you suffice with a CPU Cooler
and
I will be removing old thermal paste with thermal paste remover do I need purifier aswell

All your selected components look compatible to me. I think you are paying too much for the Windows Vista Premium 64-bit Operating System though. You should be able to find it for around $150 Australian.

Define close? lol cause they've like 3 or so stores in each state and they ship to you :rolleyes:

Also have you looked at the Cooler Master V8 CPU cooler?

I thought and am still not sure that MSY don't sell online
And I think the Vista for $150 is most probably an OEM version

Anyway thanks was especially just making sure the components were compatible
