That's fine. I've actually been on assignment to Christchurch twice and only once to Australia. Love them both but if I had to choose, South Island really captured a bit of my heart. Lovely lands and people. This will crack you up. What really dumb thing do you think I did during my first week in NZ. Aswer: I went to a zoo no realizing that almost everything there was from Australia or even the states. Duhh Anyway, your choices looked great. I didn't mean to imply that there was one special way. It's a competitive industry and there are many good options. I chose the setup because I thought it was the best all around deal I saw today. In fact I usually get Intel,, not AMD but AMD does often yield more bang for the buck. I often take advantage of sales and tend to be fairly agnostic about the established computer makers. There are exceptions and these are largely personal choices based on years of experience good and bad. I only buy Nikon cameras F,F2,F3,F4,D1, D70,D200. And I only buy Epson printers up to and including my current 9800 (44" wide).

I just wanted to offer my own take on it. I think what you're saying is an exellent way for computer Noobs to get into gaming. OEM companies that are reputable actually test and engineer their systems and often people that build with the cheapest of components forget that they are saving money on quality and it will bite them in the butt in the long term. I am always conservative when I offer advice about building computers, I make sure that the components are good quality and I tend to steer people away from Single slot high power graphics cards if im not sure they know what they are doing. Heat kills fast and it kills slowly, especially an aforementioned cheap motherboard.
The south Island is really nice, im from the North and I haven't had a chance to tour the country much down below. Im glad you liked it. Theres awesome scenery pretty much whereever you choose to base yourself. Just recently I went to the absoltute far north of the country, it was awesome! Sure beat the graphics in Crysis thats for sure.
Tease.
