Hi,
I'm doing a tafe course and work around my local area and thinking of building a new comp that I can use for any extensive tafe work that my laptop can't handle (and also because tafe comps are full of viruses) and to help with backing up data and such from customers.

I like the Thermaltake Armor+ MX case so if I could get any advice on other parts would be great.

Thanks

Edit: Budget would be $1000 Australian Dollars but under would be good.

Hows Change to build - What you think - Is everything compatible?
Case: Thermaltake Armor+ MX $168
MOtherboard: Asus P5QL-E Intel Mainboard $163
RAM: Corsair DDR2 2GB PC-6400/800 (2x XMS2 1GB) $45.10
HDD: 2x640GB WD $188
CPU: Intel E7300 $180
Powersupply: Thermaltake 430W $39
Videocard: 512M 9800GT $198

lol, never heard of 430... heard of 450 and 420 (haha yea laugh about it, its out there) but never 430... also

Get a better PSU...

running a 9800 on a 430 is BAD! you will practicaly choke that card

*Case: Nice one, but this ones better lookin, and cheaper =) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144170

*Mobo: good find, heres a beter one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131322

*GPU NICE! cheapish and reliable 9800 *awes in its glory*

*PSU here take this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152036
I KNOW I KNOW its 99 bucks, but trust me, thats the only reliable cheap 730 ull get... remember, dont look at just the specs, look at the reviews

*HDD: why 2? 260GB not enough? pardon me if im rong, if you realy do need that much space then im sorry, but i havent filled up 500 gb in years...
 
thanks for suggestions. Unfortunately i can't get from newegg as they don't ship to Australia but if i went with everything but changed psu to Thermaltake ToughPower 750W $179 would it all be compatible and fine?
