Did you buy anything yet? I'll sort you out.
I've realized that with shipping costs (for individual components overseas) and ridiculous costs (for individual components in Australia), it's actually considerably cheaper to buy a whole system from America and have it shipped over. Like, $1000 cheaper. So I guess I'll have to use my newfound building knowledge for upgrading. At least I'm more clued in as to what goes on in a computer now. Before this thread, I'd never even heard of overclocking. Or water-cooling. Or RAID 0. Or DDR3. etc
This is basically the system I'm looking at getting atm. Mine will be water-cooled. It doesn't have everything quite the way I wanted, but close enough. I'm gonna wait til the ATI 4870X2 comes out next week to decide from the reviews if I want to go for that (quad-crossfire), or the GTXs.
