Regan I would Suggest taking a look https://www.pccasegear.com/ https://www.scorptec.com.au/ and http://www.pcdiy.com.au/ all of which seem to be highly rated in Australia

I don't like it...
1. For almost same price you could get at least 2400MHz RAM modules, capacity is good, but it doesn't tell voltage
2. It doesn't have SSD. As such, it will feel very slow
3. Alienware cooling whatever... waste of money for such system, it has just 65W cpu without multiplier overclock support
4. Graphic card might not be enough, depending on your needs and target resolution. Either way with this card you'd be fine with i5-6500. I can't see a scenario where you would tax i7-6700.
5. Depending on your audiophille needs you might want something better than integrated audio (strongly individual)

Do you have a link for this model or the site?

its a good build but why isnt there a k CPU on a z motherboard? also, have you checked the prices of components by their own? it will surely save you money and give you more info for them.. f.e. whats the brand of M/B or PSU or RAM??? Also what GPU brand? is this brand prone to coil whine or other malfunctions? Toms hardware pc build for 1000$ is waaaay better.. better an i5 6600k and 1070 than i7 6700 and 1060.. whats your budget btw?

Have you thought of looking and buying all the components separately?
Or are you afraid of putting together a computer yourself? You would get a better bang for your buck if you bought everything how you like it instead of pre-built.
My first ever time putting a computer was last friday and if you be careful and follow instructions, its really easy to put together. i was surprised!

At this stage I'm not looking at building a PC, I do understand the benefits etc but would much prefer to buy a pre built pc.
Budget is anywhere from $1500- $2000 aud.
Thanks for the links provided I'll be sure to check them out!
