i7 980 CPU, Asus Sabertooth X58 MB, 16GB kingston DDR3 1666Mhz, Kingston 500GB SSD, AMD HD7870… I could have used a RX 570 8Gb but for what she uses it, it would be a waste.

Too bad they’re so expensive in Australia, A$159 here.
It’s only A$189 for a 5600G, I’d be all over one of these for AUD$79 (or less!).
