@ronald369 That's about 1,038 AUD... Holy shit, you did REALLY well! Building a PC is definitely the way to go.
Mine cost us around 2200 AUD to build, although that was 2 years ago. It still holds up amazingly well, plus I recently upgraded from my GTX 260 to a GTX 580.
I don't like complaining, but you are so god damn lucky. All I got was similar specs, but only with: 4gb RAM and a shitty ATI Radeon HD 4600. My dad, who is actually working in trade and transport with electronic devices, says to me: "Son this is a very powerful computer, and it will run all your new high tech games.". Bucket of bolts cant even run UT3 on high, less these new titles coming out. Not saying that my dad didn't give me a great gift this christmas, I was waiting a long time for this.
Have fun.

@ronald369 Hehey! That pc is almost like mine :P
The only difference being the processor, video card, motheboard and only one hd..
And the total cost was... 1 665 Pounds?
What the heck...? Are the shops here really THAT over priced?

@Nukedphone Oh yeah... Some additional info.
The processor is 2600k and the video card is 580, so... That's why it's almost the same rig.

@peepeevagi Building wasn't too difficult, although I had a couple of problems with the motherboard.
