Hey guys, can you comment on these parts that I'm about to buy. Tell me if you think i should upgrade anything because of performance wise, or if you think i could go with something a bit cheaper because it really doesnt need to be as good as it is.
All prices are in AUD and are not the actual price im paying because im getting it at near cost price from a friend.
Also if you see a part i've listed that you have seen or heard that has problems, could you let me know.
At this stage im not sure on the monitor ill get, that will come later. If i have missed anything else that i'll need, let me know.
thanks
