Me: It's just gonna be overpriced at the start and i'm gonna have to wait LONGER before I can confirm a good build.

$470 for a CPU with an included cooler worth $330 USD seems pretty decent to me
Those new zealand prices though... not so much

EDIT: The other CPUs (1800, 1800X) don't come with stock coolers so 1700 is the only good option here

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

Ripped off again, $50 more in NZ. BOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo

When considering purchases, comparing within the market is all that matters, in NZ we know we pay more than most other places, and that isn't going to change anytime soon. Compared to the 6900K ($1700), this is very good.

That is why you buy from Amazon and ship it to Australia. That's what I did.

$600 USD GTX 1080 is roughly $780 AUD with $20 AUD shipping/tax for a grand total of $800 AUD. Pretty good.

im on newegg, looking at 5$ or free shipping and its like 10-20 dollars cheaper cards, or even like 50-100. Why does it feel so good finding this out? xD
