Better AND cheaper

not particularly.

blatantly apparent problems:

-corsair cx series power supplies are junk. certainly not meant for gaming systems. they even say on the site they are meant for basic systems. this site will help you pick a better one: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
-v300 ssd is a waste of money. they have plenty of problems and are substantially slower than other newer drives. the most popular being samsung 850 evo with similar pricing.
-they sell kits of ram for a reason. they are manufactured and tested together. separately manufactured ram may have different timing or may not work together at all, even if it is the same make/model.
-newegg australia has a lot of these or similar parts for cheaper. pcpartpicker is junk for australia builds.
