Just like some help in picking parts i already have some just unsure on the rest. :)

CPU - AMD Phenom II 965BE(Own)
Motherboard - Not sure on what to buy :(
Video Card - ATI 5770(Have not bought yet)
Case - HAF932(Own)
RAM - 4gb of DDR3 RAM will be fine, not sure what brand i should get.
PSU - Totally unsure of what PSU to buy i hear Corsair and Cool Master are good :confused:
CPU Cooler - I dont think i will need one since i doubt i will be OC'ing.

Since i live in Australia i cant exactly buy from NewEgg, Tiger Direct since they don't ship to Australia..... which is a shame. So i am restricted to MSY, Scorpion Tech, and other stores like that in Victoria i use StaticIce (http://www.staticice.com.au/) pretty cool tool in finding the parts you want in Australia.

I am willing to spend up to around $200 on the mobo same for the PSU as for the RAM i can probably go $350

I didn't know how many watts you needed and all kinds of other things. If you want to get these things, find them on the sites you can order from.

Ahhh!

If you decide to, dont buy the ASUS M4A89 GTD Pro from that site. The same motherboard is on newegg for $140 ish. This is the motherboard i am planning on getting. Its got a TON of great features if you're interested in overclocking and customising.
