It always bothers me when you see a computer manufacturer mis-match parts.

Why do they pair a overclocking motherboard (Z170) with a non-overclocking processor (non-k 6700)?
This system only needs about a 550watt power supply, so why drop in an 850w power supply?

To me, it always looks like they're just clearing out overstock.

Then there is component quality. Based on the information you've provided, I couldn't tell you if they were using an ASUS motherboard of some cheap off-brand. Same goes for the RAM, Graphics Card, and the Power Supply.

Will the system work and provide you with some decent gaming experiences? Absolutely! There is a good chance you won't ever run into any problems with this system... and I'd still recommend...

it's a very good setup, you could save 350$ AUD if you build it yourself, which could go for a better graphics card, but it's your choice anyway.
