Hey Guys,

Im putting together a new PC. From what i can see this is the best i can do for under AU$1000.

Asus EAH4850-HTDI-512 RV770PRO, 512MB, DDR3, PCIE2.0, DVI, HDTV
Corsair DDR2 4GB PC-6400/800 (2x XMS2 2GB) TWIN2X4096-6400C5 Ram
Pioneer DVR-215 SATA DVD Re-Writer (20x/10x Dual Layer Black)
Western Digital 750Gb 7200RPM 16Mb SATA 2
Asus M3A78-EH AMD Mainboard - 4x DDR2 / 6x Sata Raid / 1x IDE / Gigabit Lan
AMD Phenom 9550 Quad Core (AM2) 2.2G

This system in a case with a 850W PSU running 64bit Vista.

What do you think?

What brand PSU?
And would you like a video card?

lol, i should have made that clear, its a PSU'less case and im getting an OCZ GameXStream 850W SLI PSU.

And the graphics card is the first thing on the list "Asus EAH4850" is the new 4850 series of the ATI cards

Unless I'm missing it I don't see the 9550 on the CPU support list.

The 850 is big for this setup you could go to a 650w - 700w to save some money.
