That's fair enough, but if you do want to build your own PC and get a much better deal than from Dell, check out the link we posted you earlier to another guy's thread. I know you can't use newegg since you're in Aus, but those components aren't hard to find over there, mwave are a particularly good site.

Also, you can try expresspcparts but the site I've been most impressed by so far is this one:
http://www.mwave.com.au/

Yeah but the pc they built in this forum http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/781847/4735594 would cost $626 in Australian money.

When I tried to make the exact same PC it cost about $826 Aus money.
But all the pieces weren't the same on mwave.com.au. If you can make an alright gaming PC under $700 on thw mwave website please tell me.

Thanks

You'll have to give me a moment. I forgot that due to price differences $500AU is only about $270-$300US. That makes building a gaming PC extremely difficult, but not quite impossible (For reference, any PC you buy from Dell etc. at this price will have integrated graphics and won't be able to play any games at all)

This lot comes to just over $500, is the bare minimum required for a gaming PC of any reasonable specification. It does not include a hard disk drive or DVD drive, but you can probably migrate those over from your new PC.
