It'd be much apreciated if you guys could maximize my build I really don't want to go over $1600 which is what this build is atm.

$329 seems a bit steep for a 6950.......(2 gb models are currently $269 at Newegg)

And I can't see why you wouldn't pay $15 more for a 2500K for easy overlocking...

Gaming mice, gaming keyboards...waste of money, IMO. Put that money into a GTX580, the current pinacle of single or SLI gaming framerates.

Newegg doesn't ship to Australia, so yeah.

Intel Core i5 2500K
Due 02/02/11 $279.00 $279.00
IS it worth the extra 50 dollars?

If you plan on overclocking, or have any interest, the K version is the one you want.

I would recommend a good CPU cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ with an extra fan. It's a great cooler, and is cheap (here at least; only 30 USD).
Good for OCing as well.

The GTX 580 is ~$500 in the states...sounds about right based on the other prices you've listed.
