Hey
I've decided to build a gaming rig for a school project.
Here's what I've got so far...
Intel i7 920
Kingston 2GB RAM X3
Asus P6T Motherboard
EVGA 1792MB GTX275
Seagate 1TB SATAII HDD

I need help choosing a monitor, a cooler (liquid or fan?), a power supply and speakers for under AU$350.
I live in Australia, so no Newegg :(
The whole rig itself, if you think i should completely rebuild it, needs to be under AU$2000.
Would the rig I've got so far be able to run most games?
that case... hahaha
you can get something of the same quality and vomit inducing looks for a tenth of the price
and if it's for games, i7 920? i5 750 has exactly the same performance for much less
it would help if we had a link to the site you're using because this build is just horribly wrong
OP what school do you go to? Because I fucking swear I did this exact same thing last year.

What case should I get then?
And for the i5 750, what motherboard should I be getting?

EDIT: I thought that case looked pretty sweet with a red light, i guess its a personal thing though...
CPL update there green guide frequently so if that link doesn't work just go to cpl.net.au/ and click on greenguide

Ok, you are in a different state. Oh well. Also the case is alright, but its really up to your own opinion. As for the i5 you need a LGA 1156 chipset socket.

QFT
Vomit inducing is an excellent way to put it.
:barf:
An i5 is a must
You might be able to fit a 5850 into the budget aswell.
What motherboard would you guys recommend, how about [url]http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Foxconn-INFERNO-KATANA-Motherboard-i5-i7-DDR3-GLAN-8ch_W0QQitemZ140366794992QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Components?hash=item20ae8350f0#ht_779wt_996[/url] the Foxconn inferno Katana? Or is that a bit over the top?
If i go with that Mobo, this case would be fine, right?

EDIT: Also how's the graphics card I've chosen? Would it be able to run newer games at a decent FPS or would i be better off with that 5850 leontodd suggested?
Get a 5850 or a 5870.
