How much are all those parts in shipping? Their all from different stores lol. Or is the shipping included in the price...

I believe those prices are for pick up. No idea about shipping but it'll probably be cheaper than pcasegears which is Melbourne based while umart and MSY have branches in Queensland.

$200 for what? The Motherboard? It's at $170 now from umart, I'll update prices when I plan to actually build the damn thing (no internet = no reason to get a new computer)

yea, the motherboard. that's pretty expensive, considering the speed at which they drop price and that i even got the deluxe version for $200 4 months ago. I'd be looking to get it at $150 or less.

You guys realise that M'board still runs on the Z68 Chipset? The ASRock Motherboard in my OP is running on the newer Z77. If your getting an Ivy Bridge CPU, believe me... you WANT to have the Z77 chipset The main reason being because of the new gpu feature the CPU's have. I still need to do a little more reading on it, but from what I can tell your normal GFX card can run in like "SLI/Crossfire" with the onboard GPU (new feature of Ivy Bridge). Although it's not called sli/crossfire, just a poor analogy of mine ><

I've been comparing both of these boards against each other, I cannot see why I would purchase the ASUS M'board over the ASRock one.... Is there something I'm missing here?

I didn't say get it, i know next to nothing about motherboards. I'm just saying he could get it a lot cheaper, because he's buying one.
