Build Help Please!

I'm planning to order and get my parts for my build soon (in the next week or so) and I've come upon a problem...

 

First of all, here is my PCPP build:

 

(EXCLUDE THE MONITOR AS IT WAS JUST A BASELINE)

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/xSpaceSheepy/saved/rDnj4D

 

I'm not in the US, and if anything I'm closer to Australia and the problem is, shipping from the US to my country, will cost MORE than the actual price of the case itself ($125 USD to ship to me and the case being around $112 or something). When looking at the Australia sites I can find the case, but I don't think any of them will ship to me so I'm not sure what to do...

 

As for the rest of the parts, I can get the CPU, RAM, HDD, SSD at a local store so all I need to order is the case, PSU, Mobo, CPU Cooler and GPU and as for shipping all these parts, I'll have to check on the shipping charges. Then I can finally put it all together...

 

I'm not sure what to do with the whole case problem though... Any advice?

 

I'll find out shipping charges for the other parts and I'll make a post to this current thread.

Would it be a good idea to just order it all from one select retailer like Newegg or Amazon? It'll only be like 50 USD cheaper but with those retailers like Amazon, I'm pretty sure they ship to where I live... 

 

But still the same issue with the case... NZXT will charge 125 USD to ship it...

I guess I could, but I kinda based most of the build off of that case... Do you know any other cases that...

 

1. Look as good as this case

2. Around the same price and won't cost a million dollars to ship

3. Fits all my stuff

4. Has a good window and similar colour scheme.

Hmm, okay. I'll go take a look.

I would get a different case or try to find it from a local shop

Rose's are red violets are blue, without computers I'd know not what to do.

All the cases in the local shops are really terrible like 30 USD cases that are all plasticy and I doubt are compatible with my stuff... They are made by a company called Armageddon or something.

Maybe find one on ebay.

That's actually a really good idea. I'll go take a look.

I'll go look it up and see how it goes. Thanks :)

 

You can price match at your preferred retailer that way you save a bit on shipping and get the best prices

I don't think I'm able to do that where I live... There's only a couple places and they don't have too great of stuff there when it comes to cases. I doubt they'd order things in.

I meant for the stuff your forced to ship over you can have it all coming from one place for the lowest price

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
