It has got a videocard a Gigabyte GeForce 7900GT and I've read in mags over here that the E6700 is not worth the extra $300-$400 over the E6600 but not the get the E6500 because of the smaller cache.
Plus it is an Australian build you can probally get it for around $2000 in the US its very expensive over here sadly.
Plus thats including all extras like a mouse and keyboard and stuff.
 
well, if your willing to make a deal, ill build a system here and mail it to you, considering i can get you a X1950XTX, Core 2 Duo X6800, 1GB DDR2-1066, and atleast 750gigs of storage for that budget

its barly onder budget, but i could always mail you the parts and have you build it, but it will be MUCH better or a system if you just bought the parts off of me and have me send them to you (you'd cover shipping of course, which would put you over budget by a little bit)
