Hello everyone, I was just wondering who could give me the best gaming build for $3000(AUD) as stated in title. If you haven't figured that i'm in Australia, I am so parts cost a little more over here.

P.S. I would rather 780 than 770.

Thanks, Luke.
 


My final build specs are the same as above I guess. I'll probably order everything tomorrow (in 12 hours it will be monday 10:30 AM) or the next day, I am DONE waiting!
 


I'm sorry I don't know what I meant. :ouch:
 
Anyways, what would you be using for Lights? Of course, i am sure that for that awesome build, there need to be some cool lights inside the case. Which one are you going for? Please don't say that there are no lights in your plan!! Otherwise i might just kill myself after hearing that. 😀
 


No, you are correct! 😛 There definitely are going to be lights. I'm gonna use these led strips: BitFenix Alchemy Connect 60cm White LED Strip
 


Indeed, it's going to be a MASSIVE upgrade from my laptop!
 


For 3000 AUS Dollars, I still have a spectrum plus 3 in my loft, if you are interested ..It has the 3.5 inch floppy drive, and some games, and a screen gun and everything! .
(Dont report me, its a joke. . Mind you, I might take £75)
 


I know. 😉 I'm gonna just wait and see if Australia gets the Classified before I get all my parts, if not I'll just get the superclocked and get express shipping!
 
UPDATE!

I have all of the parts except the GPU but I have purchased the SC 780 which will probably (and hopefully:lol:) arrive on Monday or Tuesday. I will post pics shortly!

Edit: didn't realise it was 6 AM over there! LOL
 
Thanks for quick reply!

Ok here are the pictures:

Most parts in their boxes:




Please note that I already installed the RAM and HDD and SSD. Thats why some aren't in the picture, forgot to do it straight away. Sorry 🙁

And here is the case with side off.




And here is the Mobo, RAM, PSU and CPU installed in the Case!


 


That made me laugh! :lol:

Only got to install them as I had to go to work I'm going to continue tomorrow though I'll probably upload pics after I get back from work tomorrow from what I did before I went to work. Hopefully makes sense!
