What resolution do you intend to play at? 1080p?
$650 AUD is pretty low, even to buy components alone, let alone for one configured.
An OS alone on that site is $149, with an i3-6100 setting you back another ~$150..... it'll be tough, if not impossible (for anything worthwhile).
*EDIT* Honestly, I don't see it being viable. An i3-6100, cheapest motherboard, 1x8GB DDR4 and an OS is already over $500 AUD, doesn't leave you much for a GPU, storage, PSU & PSU.

^ That's the way to go if you're prepared to shop around & build it yourself OP. Not sure what the site you linked is charging for assembly but, at 650AUD, you don't have the budget to factor in assembly cost too.
As an FYI @Trafalgar747, that PSU is out of stock & end of life, so won't be coming back in.
You're looking around ~$100AUD for a quality PSU, which puts your build right around the OP's budget.
