Hi,

Looking to buy a gaming rig, and think I pretty much have it nailed down. This doesn't include the peripherals (monitor, mouse and keyboard etc) just the pc itself.

My budget is $1350 in New Zealand dollars, in USD that's $1,034.16, so let's say $1'050.

Here's what I'm looking at. I think it's the best I can get, but would appreciate anyone elses thoughts on it.

Intel E6550 2.33GHz 1333MHz FSB

2GB DDRII RAM at 800MHz

250GB HDD

Gigabyte P35 MB

DVDRW

GeForce 8600GT 512 MB

Gigabyte case

XPH

Office 07 H&S

Your graphic is a tad better, but have you tried www.pricespy.co.nz I wish I knew that website before lol. Mines about 100 bucks more, But if you get it all separately (pricespy) and build your self it will end up cheaper.
