showing my ignorace but whats OCAU?

Overclockers Australia

www.overclockers.com.au

It was primarily an overclocking website but now its a very big forum with a wide variety of areas, motoring, science, sports, current events and of course all the computer related stuff. If your into geeky stuff or endless arguments you'll probably find something to interest yourself there.

[Whiplash]

ahh geeky stuff, soon going to be very involved with that (hence the pc upgrade)

and i'm always up for a good argument

[Howie]

Any of you guys on OCAU? Im on there as foliage.

Ahh foliage. I've seen you about there. I'm on OCAU as Howie_Ly.

hey yeh 2 grande to build just a system is plenty for the average gamer (not in retail) i never look at retail prices nowadays so maybe 2 gs isnt that much for a box (no mon), i spent 3 gs whole sale on my comp and its running a treat, but dont future proof urself when buying a computer... theres no such thing, young kids just tell it to their parents to try and buy better equipment.

Or salesmen say it to customers to up sell them

lol i spent about 4g on this rig over time got rid (not by choice) of my x850XT PE for a x1900xtx

but yeah HDTV and all the good bits when brand new

CPU+Ram was $1000

Mobo+PSU was $650

LCD was $700 3 years ago

and the list goes on ...

[Whiplash]

hmmm i bought my current one 2 years ago for 1200

a quick $2,000 PC no monitor hopefully youve got 1

maybe SAZilla can do the same to show a comparison of a asus system

keep in mind these arnt the skimpiest parts and system could be built cheaper but there not the deaest parts either its a nice comprimise

Have a look at www.umart.com.au

System looks nice only problem might be the power supply most prob need a 400watt min.

You can get the ga-965p-ds3 which is the same motherboard as the one u listed but without the intergrated graphics which you dont need so its cheaper.

i like to build them with intergrated just in case you have to RMA the gfx card your not left without a basic PC

and yeah would probably get @ least a 350w PSU but you wouldnt have to as my dads case has a 350 generic and it runs my xtx fine so a 300w would be ok for a PRO card

alot of these website arnt good for ppls that dont know what there looking @ its a bunch of pages with prices and pictures if Nick doesnt know which motherboard goes with which CPU then thats why hes here asking for help

[Whiplash]

^^ ahh yeah thats me

i don't know much to anything about the parts and building computers. I just know how to use em

Actually thats the going price these days. Check out www.staticice.com.au

The viewsonic 2025 is one I picked up and its fantastic (21" widescreen). Got it for $550 delivered a few months ago.

[Madaz]

yeah im thinking 22" 1080i for 600 very hard to find that since you dont get 1920x1200 until you hit the 24" screen

EDIT

OMG OMG

22

FP222W 22"WIDE,5ms,300nits,700:1,D-SUB,DVI-D,1680x1050,SILVER/BLACK BenQ

or far more amazing

FP241W 24"WIDESCREEN,500nits,1000:1,6ms,DSUB,DVI-D,HDMI,SVID,BLACK BenQ

$259.00

I just rang them and both of those prices were entered incorrectly (no big surprise).

But I have been looking at these (OCAU did a group buy on these recently, but this price beats even that) :

Chimei 22" WS
