I want to upgrade my computer.
Help on a build would be appreciated, thankyou.
I'll be using the CM 690 case, along with my own three sata hard drives and my own Corsair HX-620 PSU.
I'd like to include that I want a DDR 2/3 (One of the other, or both) RAM, a fairly good CPU which is cheap, where it won't bottleneck the GPU, which I plan on using the GTX 570 and any motherboard.
I'm not very good, well, I'm not confident with making my own build.
Thanks In advance
Oh and price range should be.. 500-900 AUSTRALIAN dollars, as cheap as possible, thankyou all.
Oh and one more request, if you could please use these websites: lmc.com.au
msy.com.au
pccasegear.com
Sorry for all the requests, it's just convenient for me, thankyou all again.

You do realize that the 570 alone would cost more than $350, right? Consider getting a 560 Ti and overclock that to match the performance of the 570 (and even the 580), all the while spending ~$100 less. Or you could get the 6950 or 6970, offering equal (and possibly better) performance at a lower price. Also with AMD Bulldozer just 'round the corner you might want to wait for prices to go down even further on existing products.
Regardless, as requested (see attachment):

I agree you should get a 6950 and OC it. If you get the msi twinfrozr it has 2gb vram and can be OC'd easily with msi after burner. The twinfrozr heatsink is the best of the best.

I plan with going with this build.
I'm leaving out the graphics card for now just to save a little bit of money.
What do you guys think?
Will the motherboard fit in my CM690 chassis?
Is there anyway to check?
