basically, my computer fried itself. probably my fault, but either way, it was getting up there in age and wasnt cooling properly.

so i want to build a new one, or buy, whichever would work best for the money, i have about $500 to spend, i already have a gpu i want to use....geforce 9800 gtx+....

need: mobo, ram, cpu, psu, case if it fits in the budget, but if not oh well mine will work.

dont need: gpu, monitor, keyboard, mouse, hd.

and basically i wanted this to play starcraft 2, other games, but sc2 is the most graphics intensive of the ones that i play.

Hi energak, presuming you use Australian Dollars, I have made a build with the parts you require. All parts I got from http://www.pccasegear.com/.

Motherboard: ASUS M4A88T-M-USB3 Motherboard $117
RAM: Corsair CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 $129
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition $117
Case/PSU: CoolerMaster Centurion 5 II With 500W PSU (Black) $119
and even a CPU Cooler to prevent those nasty fry ups: CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 $29

Nice build, but how can you assume he's from Oz?
