Little overbudget, you can cut on the RAM and use one dimm, and the cooler to make that price go down.

500 USD is very different from 500 NZD.

What kind of dollars are you using?

Don't use USD then. 

It's 2000-2500 kroner right?

 

Where are you shopping?

It has links to shops and organizes parts from them. It helps organizing one but you don't buy from pcpartpicker itself.

You don't buy stuff through pcpartpicker. You choose stuff through it.
