here again paying too much

Hard Drive -

Seagate 150gb 10000RPM - $300

is this going to be enough for all your needs.

if it is then i would go with this.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136220

if it is not then go with this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148295

personally i would go with the 10000 rpm as the operating drive then have a 1 terabyte drive as the drive where you save all your games,etc

Video Card -id get this card it is nice and will handle pretty much every game out there on very good settings. however it is pretty big so make sure you have a big case.

however if you plan on running sli in your rig then i would personally go for these two.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150267

however if you do plan on running any of these cards i have picked out for you i would recommend that you use a 1000watt power supply or 800,850 at the minimum.


:wink:good luck:wave:

Thanks for any help xD
Whats SLI? And Than ks so much for your help does newegg shi[p overseas? I fso ill buy from them
Crap They Don't Send To New Zealand, Is there any other good online stores that ship internationally?
The reason he thinks you're paying too much is that he didn't read the little disclaimer stating that the prices are in NZ dollars/

I am not aware of any online stores that ship internationally. Besides, you would be paying soooo much for shipping. You'd be better off going to a local electronics store and getting the best things your money can buy with the help and experience of a gamer friend/salesperson.

Good luck
right okay sorry then.

uummm bit stuck here dont know any sites that ship to new zeland sorry.
