What's your budget? I think I would leave the SSD off and get a 500GB HD and a better GPU. The 650TI isn't really that good.

PSU is overkill, no way you need 900W for that system.
Nor do you need 16GB of RAM if your just gaming.
A green drive is not a good idea if its going to have the OS on it.

Also here's a couple of Australian stores. I'v had good dealings with all of them (particularly PC Case Gear).

swap out the antec with a seasonic or another know bronse rated power supply. check the mb email the vendor tech support check what bios rev the mb needs to post with the amd cpu. most times there a cpu list with that info. if the mb you get has an older bios it wont post...so how do you update it??? if your lucky there a computer store that has an older cpu and for a small fee will do it for you. or you have to send the mb back to the vendor and have them flash it and mail it back to you.

[manofchalk]

Why though?

G-Unit has shown you can easily get better on your budget. even if you had to get all those components through the one store you would still come in under budget.

OK I am thinking of using the
Asus Radeon HD7770 DirectCU V2, 1GB - $149.00


Graphics Engine AMD Radeon HD 7770
Bus Standard PCI Express 3.0
Video Memory GDDR5 1GB
Engine Clock 1120 MHz
Memory Clock 1150 MHz ( 4600 MHz GDDR5 )
RAMDAC 400 MHz
Memory Interface 128-bit
Resolution D-Sub Max Resolution : 2048x1536
DVI Max Resolution : 2560x1600
Interface D-Sub Output : Yes x 1 (via DVI to D-Sub adaptor x 1)
DVI Output : Yes x 2
HDMI Output : Yes x 1
Display Port : Yes x 1 (Regular DP)
HDCP Support : Yes
Accessories 1 x CrossFire cable
1 x DVI to D-Sub adaptor

Why would you want that GPU? G-Unit has a HD7950, which is miles ahead of the HD7770.
