ok guys, the first 2 components that im thinking of getting when i build the pc is http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=16611 (Graphics card)
http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=16617 (CPU)
What do you guys think? am i spending too much on these 2 parts for a mid range gaming pc (around $1000-1300)?
And can you guys suggest any motherboard I should look at getting that isn't too expensive but won't limit my choices if I were to upgrade parts in the future (a motherboard which can fit the 2 mentioned components)?

do you need to buy keybd / monitor / mouse / speakers?

If so you're gonna be way over budget.

My advice, go onto the Computer Lounge forums and ask them. They'll be able to give you some excellent advice and possibly even a deal.
