Hey all, I'm in Australia (which means no eggs for me) and have been shopping around for a system setup that should OC pretty good. So far I think I'm going to go with...

(PRICES AUSTRALIAN)

Thats what I'm planning. I want to get the CPU in the 3.4ghz+ range stable. I am a huge newbie to all this and don't know if that cooling case will be enough. I think I can reuse the power supply from current system (or is this bad?). Do you guys know any cheaper prices (remember them prices are AU - use www.xe.com to convert) from sites that ship internationally? Anything wrong with anything you see? And will I be able to OC anything else (total newb) with this?

(I plan on MMORPG gaming with awesome graphix on this machine. But that card is most expensive I can afford.)

Thanks heaps.

edit: I've found 550W POWER SUPPLY / 2 FAN $110.00 (will this be good to include?)
