Thanks alot, can you use the Australian pcpartpicket, it lets you choose where you are, once you choose the parts, it will list the prices automatically, and then can choose the cheapest available prices.

Didn't know that.

While I'm more of a fan of the 390(x) than the 970/980... It's lowest price is $400 over what you're going for.

Hi, I think that was awesome, very nice pick.
And if you don't mind I will just say this: if it is solely a gaming rig, you should be just fine with an i5 professor.
There are only two games (among a lot of them) I play that the professor is going to do hard labor:

Crysis 3 which is the most demanding of all games and Battlefield Hardline - there my professor is up to nearly 55% in both, in all other games it never goes beyond 30% usage of the cores.

Which mean that an i5 will just do perfectly fine and the price will be somewhat lower.
Best regards and Good luck.

Thanks Fisherman but the thing is I'm going to use for video rendering as well.
