You should spend less on the CPU (i3-3220 or i5-4570) and HDD (a Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue is enough) and spend more on the graphics card. You should be able to get a 7970 or 670 with that kind budget.

Can you give me a link to a site you'll be buying from?

Are you willing to overclock and/or shop from different sites as well?

 

[BreaKerNZ]

Don't know anything about overclocking, would prefer to shop from there but if there is somewhere cheaper ok, they will be putting it altogether for me

 

[Sleepingforest]

Putting things together isn't that hard you know. Like big Lego pieces!

I'd say that if they're charging more than $100, you're probably better off learning how to do it yourself.

 

[BreaKerNZ]

Yeah, I don't mind shopping at other places just been shopping from cello for years

That's what i am thinking of getting

 

[Sleepingforest]

Do you know if you can find out exactly what PSU they include?

 

[Sleepingforest]

i5-3570 CPU = $261
Asrock B75 Pro3-M Motherboard = $97
2x4GB 1600MHZ CL9 RAM = $74
Gigabyte 7970 GPU = $554
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD = $93
Antec HCG 520W PSU = $96
Antec One Case (with USB 3.0) = $99
Windows 7 Home Premuim 64-bit = $152
Total = $1426

From across 3 stores. It'll absolutely wreck the PC from CelloTech. Yes, it costs more, but it's also more price efficient in terms of performance for the cost than the one from CelloTech.

Sweet that looks good.

Why go 3570 if its not a k version? You can save by getting a even lower model non overclockable i5.

 

[Sleepingforest]

It doesn't save much in New Zealand to lower than a 3570K, or the drop in clock speed is too high (down to 2.9 or 3.0) to be worth the 30 NZD.

No real point in getting the 3570K in a non-overclocking mobo with a discrete GPU.
