Need help to make PC with a $2000 budget - Hardware & Software

I've been saving up for a long time and I have finally saved up 2000 dollars for a gaming computer. The problem is I know a little about computers but I'm stumped about the parts. I would like to keep the computer under 2000 dollars and I would like it if you guys would use this site [url]http://ijk.com.au/branch/kogarah/[/url] to find the parts instead of sites like new egg, since I don't live in America. I also live in Australia :P

Firstly, that site is WAY overpriced. [url=http://www.centrecom.com.au]Use Centrecom[/url]. Do you need Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, HDD, DVD Drive?

Here's one I suggest; [url]http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=41693[/url] There's still room in the budget for Keyboard, Mouse and maybe a second monitor.

I don't actually care about anything else but the computer. I already have a perfectly working monitor, keyboard and mouse so why bother to get another one?

Where about in Australia do you live. I live in NSW?

[QUOTE=WaaWee;18002137]I don't actually care about anything else but the computer. I already have a perfectly working monitor, keyboard and mouse so why bother to get another one?[/QUOTE] If you've already got a good monitor (as in 1920x1080 or higher), then you MIGHT be able to squeeze out 2 5850s. [editline]04:05PM[/editline] Yeah. Two 5850's brings the total to $1863.90 [url]http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=41694[/url] It's up to you. You could buy two good monitors and a 5870 or two 5850s and keep your current monitor. [url]http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=25&products_id=38578[/url]

Yeah I do live in NSW and I might consider getting the Asus monitor adzicents linked me, but why would I need 2 monitors?

You don't need 2, some people just prefer the extra space for general computing.

and the 5 series has Eyefinity which lets you game over multiple monitors

[QUOTE=adzicents;18003263]You don't need 2, some people just prefer the extra space for general computing.[/QUOTE] I think I'll get the Asus monitor and the 5870 card instead of 2x 5850. Does all the parts fit together that you listed? Also do I still need to buy fans?

Sounds good. You always have the room for another 5870 later if you get the money, the motherboard has two PCI-e slots. Everything I listed fits. You won't need to buy any extra fans for the case in the immediate future. The only reason you'd want a better CPU fan is if you were going to be doing overclocking, but the stock i5 fan is pretty good.

Should I also get Win7 as my OS? I've been hearing a lot of good things about it.
