That's a big price range. Everything from crap to superb are between that. Only the high-end products are above that price. Best bang for buck? Maybe GF 7900GT or X1900 XT. Open for debate.

500GB I think is the biggest single hard-drive available at the moment.

I believe the biggest DDR or DDR2 modules availabe are 2GB. What you actually can install depends on your motherboard. (For server use 4GB modules are available but they cost a REAL lot).

Definitely go for the 7900GT.

Exaclty what pieces of hardware are you after, because it'll matter greatly on what you both can afford and how many pieces of hardware you're getting.

If it's just the video card and Harddrive, you'll be able to get mid-high range equipment, however, if you're after almost the full shebang (motherboard, RAM, video card, harddrive, and/or others) you'll have to sacrifice. check out online stores like (these are perth based aswell) trinix, techbuy, and nintek. Google for them as I'm writing this I'll be heading off to the realm of z's.

Why do you need such a large harddrive?

And post the current specs of your PC.

Well the largest hard drive you can buy is a 2TB one, which is 2,000GB. Those run about $1600, and are only made external. And the largest internal is 750GB running at about $400.

They must have some serious applications in use then. I can't think of anything other then serious DV editing (or a really huge video collection) that would actually require anything bigger then 200GB (unless you have hundreds of games installed).

I wouldn't get actual 2GB ram modules since their relative price is quite high. Get two 1GB modules instead. Better in another sense too, you can use dual channel configuration with two separate modules; that is both modules are accessed at the same time (provided you motherboard supports it, if it's new it propably does).
