1121707 2010-07-26 09:38:00 You're not gaming at all are you? As I have pointed out before there is no such thing as a 768MB GTX 470. GTX 470s only come with 1.28GB of memory. GTX 460s come in 768MB (and 1GB, but that's irrelevant).

Even if it is actually a GTX 460 you're getting, it's still an overkill and if you don't game at all even a GeForce GT210 or anything below a Radeon 5570 would suffice.

Edited: if I read this right.

For Monitor, for graphic design I would recommend the HP ZR24W

Total = $2679 Incl GST + $589 Incl GST'

Total =$3268

1121709 2010-07-26 09:50:00 What's the power supply?

Like I suggested in your other thread I would look more at 1156 setups .

But if your happy with that setup I would check what PSU is and maybe swap out the graphics for an ATI card . I believe they are better value for $$$$

btw what do they mean by "Configuration Overclocking"? Is this going to be pre overclocked?

Otherwise pretty nice build

Does CS4 support hardware acceleration on ATI cards yet? I thought it was only Nvidia cards it used .

A mid-range card should be fine for photoshop .

Yes - I'm asking about this (but I trust the info/input from you guys and gals more!). :)

Now I must get ready for work - to pay for this lot.:(

1121713 2010-07-28 06:25:00 While researching the suggested case online today I came across this:

Discontinued Product
This item has been discontinued by the manufacturer or vendor and is no longer available. Overseas site, I think.

Should that worry me? What other alternatives would you suggest?

TIA :)

1121714 2010-07-28 07:06:00 The case is only a box in which to keep assorted hardware. You are unlikley to want spare parts for the box unless maybe a power switch.

Personally I'd be quite happy with anything by Thermaltake or Lian-Li. Just ensure you get a box that will take further upgrades. A full size case is better so long as you have room on the desk or in the desk. If you are planning on swapping hardware on a regular basis then try a tool less case.

On the other hand if you want to remove said case and move it around a lot then I guess smaller is better.
