Hi everyone!

It's been 7 long years of all work and no play for me, since i last constructed a PC for myself, since the godly days of ddr 400 and the unholy AGP 8!!

So I need a bit of help selecting the right components for my PC, first off I have a $1000 dollar budget to work with, don't need another other then the BOX.

So here goes, so far I have;

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (3GHz/45nm/1333FSB/6M) LGA775 $196
ASUS P5Q-Pro (P45/1600FSB/2xPCIe@16) EPU & Express Gate $165
2GB Kit (2x1024MB) PC6400 OCZ PLATINUM 4-4-4-15 $88
GTX260 896MB Inno 3D $279
Antec Sonata Plus 550 with PSU $228

Oh yes, these are Australian prices.
Anything I am missing? Or could be improved?


Cheers, and thanks for being here for me mates! ;)
