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.

It is just barely touching it, i do not believe there could be any problems with this. I am not aware of any problems that could arise by the CPU cooler barely touching the RAM. I think it should not be a problem.

Another thing is that with Imageshack images do not load sometimes and mostly they do not want people to have the direct link to the images which causes a lot of problem at times. That is why you should always use imgur.com for sharing images. It is a very good and reliable site which the whole internet nowadays uses to share images. I personally use imgur and have not encountered any problems since i have switched to imgur.com . So for sharing pics it is my recommendation. You can also create your very own account at the site and save images to your account and use them anytime you want. It is a really good service for sharing images.

And again for the RAM. I am not aware of any problems because i personally did not had any situation like this. Anyways you should wait for someone else who knows more on this to see and review it. As far as my opinion goes, i think it should be just fine.

I dunno, I don't think you could see it properly in the other photo. The first two RAM sticks are touching as you can in the next two images.

As you can see in this photo the gap is usually a few millimetres(Our spelling of metre not meter) but the first two are touching. Just wanted to know if this really mattered.

Thanks again, Luke

I'm going to post pics of semi-final look. (My monitor was DOA so I'm using my bros and one strip of LED had no sticky film)

but everything else is gonna be final!

Hope you enjoy the pics below.

It might be because the driver might be giving some problems. It looks to me more of an OS issue because it said driver, that gives us a hint that the problem might be Software related, so things look good from hardware side.

If the problem continues you should start a new thread at TomsHardware or SevenForums. That should be the best way as it would let more people know that there is a problem with your rig. In this thread only a few people would know.

I recommended SevenForums because it is a completely Software related forum and there are quite a lot of Windows Experts there. Wheras in TomsHardware you can get good advice on Hardware but the software side of TomsHardware is way too weaker when compared to something like SevenForums. So my suggestion would be to go for Sevenforums.
