This is a rip-off. Shop somewhere like Amazon. Also, you need at least a 600Watt PSU for that Graphics Card.

Thanks I'll edit and put a 600 watt PSU in. Thats the average price for these components beacause this has GST included which is 10% added from the normal price. So say a component is $100 AUD it would become $110 AUD because of GST. These are pretty cheap since they match up to components from other places that dont include GST

What do you mean for that graphics card - he hasn't got one listed?

You don't need any more wattage.
The reason I haven't gone with a more powerful GPU is because your CPU will start bottlenecking your system (gaming)
You could get rid of the optical drive, then get this together:

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
+

That will give you much better performance, as the 7870 listed above use tahiti architecture - the same used for the 7950 and 7970; giving you a performance closer to a 7950 rather than a 7870.

I had one listed but took it out because there was not much info on it and was probably a bad move and new someone would have got me onto a better one.
I was just reading up about that 7870 it does look the goods!! I have an optical drive on my other pc if i just take that out and chuck it in that one and install all the stuff then take it out will that work? or could it do something wrong?
also is that motherboard alright i was abit worried about it
Thanks alot!!

Sorry I took so long to reply - just completed Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon 100%
The motherboard is great, but if you can find an MSI B75m P45 then I would go with that.
You can move the optical drive to any computer you want - as long as the computer has a molex/sata power and a sata data cable/IDE (I think is the older one)
How old is the other optical drive do you know? It should be fine.

I cant find that specific model motherboard. So ill just stick with the one i had in the first place.
The optical drive is the exact same model as the one I put in the build
Thanks for all your input!
