You might price out those parts and see how much the bundle is saving/costing you.

My take is that the graphics card is underpowered for the cpu.
I like to see a 2:1 ratio of graphics to cpu budget for a balanced gamer.

Love the inclusion of a ssd.

That looks perfect but i was just wondering if it comes with Windows 7/8 (don't mind) and does it cost heaps to get shipped to Australia?

It costs nearly $100 extra just to ship, and i'm not even including the OS so the price goes over $1000 easy.
