Please check the reputation of the sites you are using. I have read about a few sites down there that are all identical in appearance that have bad service and are slow when they deliver at all. I don't recall the names though. Both those sites look OK on the surface, but I have to wonder.
I have been advising builders for 5 years now, including hundreds of Aussies, and never heard of PLE or Netplus. If they are under my radar, how is it they can have such competitive prices?
Not saying you shouldn't use them, just be careful.
And I haven't actually said yet, but the parts lists are all good.

Fellow Aussie here, also making a rig with a $1500 budget.
Iv found that there are 3 stores with the cheapest prices, MSY, PC Case Gear and Umart. Everywhere else (in the Melbourne area at-least) is more expensive or can only offer similar prices. Getting all your parts from one store can save hassle, but you need to look around a lot if you want to squeeze the most out of your coin. And check out any local stores to you, they often have deals with suppliers and get stuff cheap.
Oh yea, make sure GST is included, bit me in the arse when I was trying to budget.

The PSU:
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-GX...
"Cooler Master GX 750 W looks like a good option for users looking for a mainstream 750 W power supply, however it has a major flaw that prevents us from recommending it: noise level at +3.3 V and +5VSB outputs were above the maximum allowed when we pulled 600 W and above from this unit. High noise levels overload and can even damage components on your computer."
OCZ 750W
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/OCZ-Fatal1ty-750...
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...
"In summary, OCZ Fatal1ty 750 W is probably the power supply on this power range with the best cost/benefit ratio on the market today."

Your usage is listed as gaming and web browsing... you don't need 16GB of RAM, it won't make any game faster.
Spend that extra money on a stronger GPU, and then you will have better game performance.

Well i was thinking about the GTX 560 ti SLI eventually and 16GB of ram for games that come out later cause BF3 chews through about 6GB so as games become more intense the more memory will be required i think. But i will definitely think about this thanks.

If you are a knowledgeable and experienced overclocker, then I might go the other way. I would like to see some results in a well water cooled rig though. Hmmm

Yep, the temps are gonna jump right up there around 4.4Ghz regardless of cooling.

They still have some other good models in stock. Of the ones left I'd take:
MSI GeForce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III Power Edition
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...
Or the Gigabyte... but the MSI is $15 cheaper
If you do decide to increase your budget to include a gtx 580, go a gtx 670 instead:
Check these benches:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-670-rev...
EDIT: Sorry I see there are 580s now that are $40 - 50 cheaper than a 670. I'd still choose the 570 over a 580

siege_templarI can get it all on the site you recomened for $1203 and on this other site i can have the same stuff plus a 60GB SSD for $1203 so ill go with http://www.netplus.com.au and thanks for the comment.
Ive just got to get the money now.
I just feel that site is the easiest to maneuver to get a ruff estimate, i would also go with what ever is cheaper.
Good Luck my friend.

AND also get a 7870 if your gonna go for gtx570 or 580, it performers just as good or better than both.
