By around, I mean it can be a bit over. I'm not expecting you to build me a whole computer, just asking for a general idea, as this is what I can spend.
Fixed title.

If this is really true:
| Code: | | 1 Australian dollar = 0.9860 US dollar |
You are all set to build yourself a TOP end computer from scratch.

Aus price are screw up, they don't have big retails like newegg and shit, and products are overcharged by 10-20% most of the time.
1.5k AUS would be getting 1k USD worth of parts.
see for your self at pccasegear, umart, and that whatever pc retailer
pic semi related, you get what you paid for.

650w is still $150 meng.
aside, everything is so limited.
Unless you want the no brand ones that is.

I recompensed you going to MSY If you live in Australia.
I've found them to be cheaper and have a lot of high end available products, although they don't have all of the big brands.

Planning on getting it custom-built in a store rather than building my own, parents dont trust internet.
Wait, they have a branch of this in ipswich? I think they do, it says so. If they do, what would you recommend I buy as a system, because they acutally seem really cheap.
http://www.msy.com.au/SYSTEMS/INTEL-Pro4.pdf
http://www.msy.com.au/SYSTEMS/AMD-Gamer4.pdf
I would prefer intel because I know a little more about it, but I'm not picky.

You don't have to get from the premade custom builds in those .pdf files.
You can simply chose which components you want, go to the store, tell them I want you to build it which costs $70 I think.

I figured that, but I would be completely happy with those depending on what they mean. The cost next to the processor isn't the processor itself, it's the whole tower right?

Nope, unless there's a newegg.au. But still going to be fuckload expensive
Also, if you get someone to ship it, enjoy getting raped by import taxes
