It is kinda hard to offer you build advice since your purchase date is rather far off in the future.

PC components depreciate in value (percentage wise) faster than automobiles.

You may want to look at Tom's Hardware June 2012 system builder marathon for a $2000 PC. By the time September rolls around you maybe able to buy it give or take a component for $1500.

AUD prices are higher than USD prices because AUD are worth somewhat less. You won't be able to avoid that.
I advise that you come back in August or September. New parts may have come out by that time, and prices will certainly have changed.

Off the top of my head....no. However you may want to check out the 'Asus Republic of Gamers Australia' Youtube Channel. I think there is also a PC Enthusiast website called 'maxshine' which is based out of Australia. You may find some content on those sites which could recommend a good e-tailer.

I like a lot of the videos they post. There are some serious gamers in Australia.
