Do you have a business or something, because you should register yourself with suppliers so you can get the components cheap and make more profit.

Otherwise just look here for a good idea http://www.nag.co.za/tag/system-builders/

Motherboard: MSI H87-G41 PC Mate
Graphics card: Gigabyte GV-N660OC-2GD GeForce GTX660
RAM: Corsair DDR3-1333 4GB XMS3(will get another 4GB later, not that important)

You still need a case.

How much are you going to pay for that GTX660 OC? The reason I ask is because the R9 270x may cost less and perform better...

I already have a case, sorry I forgot to mention it.
I can't find the R9 anywhere, I don't want to use Wootware because they are in Cape Town and I in JHB, I am currently looking and will report shortly!
