But that's a US build

Australian, dude. As in a .77 value to the american dollar.... So no.

[Jamesxx]

If you go on Reddit people will order the parts and ship it to you for free for PayPal money

But still doesn't change the fact that in usd, he has a $770 budget. Not a $1k budget.

Just swap out the ssd and put in a core 3 ... that was a basic good build

He forgot the os anyway

CPL has had a lot of stuff that is just not in stock (probably since it is stupidly cheap)

So you cannot get that motherboard, RAM, GPU, Case, PSU and ODD.

You can do much better on the GPU department, like this. All the links go to PCCaseGear.

 

You Don’t Need a Product Key to Install and Use Windows 10 (or get a key for cheap in a grey market site)

Make sure the Antec PSU over at CPL is available. Sometimes pcpp will report stuff being in stock even though it's not.

 

I would put together a build without CPL.
