1700 AU, that's... 1347.91 USD.



I don't know the specific memory speed. You could say high speed, and that'd be a difference of opinion.

Also, what's the video memory of that 7950-GT? 512? 256?

Is your Surround Sound audio integrated into the motherboard, or a separate card?

I recently just purchased all this from NewEgg, which is almost the same as yours, except the PSU is 250 watts more, I didn't purchase a hard drive, my video card is the 7950 GT KO edition with 512 mbs of video memory, and my processor is the E6600 Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz with 4M L2 cache, while yours is 2M L2 cache, for around $1330, shipped.

- E6600 Core 2 Duo processor
- 2 Gigs 667 OCZ SOE memory
- Antec P180 Black case (I was very skeptical about this case, but a friend recommended it, and I am so glad I got it, I love it)
- Asus P5N-E SLI motherboad 650i
- EVGA 7950 GT 512mb
- ThermalTake ToughPower 750 watt PSU
- DVD Burner with Dual Layer capability.
- 52 in 1 Card Reader (for the wife and her digital photos)
- A 120 mm fan that I put in the top grilled portion of the Antec case. I'm a Matrix fan, so the black case and green LED fan go well together.

I already had 2 250 gig, 7200 RPM Western Digital HDDs and a Dell 2007 Widescreen monitor.



Considering the processor price alone, not to mention I didn't buy an HDD, I'd say that you could do better. This is IMO of course.
