Hey there everyone,

I am looking for a mid tier gaming pc system keeping the price as close to $1000 (AUD) as possible. I don't know too much about PC's and their parts. I am from Australia so i'll be looking for any recommendations to purchasing parts/rigs in the Australian region. So far this is what I've found: http://www.jw.com.au/jw-amd8320-gaming-tower-p-13651

I'd like to ask for some feedback on if this is good or if I can get anything better/cheaper.

If the link hasn't worked these are the parts and costs:

Processor
AMD FX 8320 8-CORE BLACK EDITION CPU, 3.5 GHz, Turbo Core up to 4.00 GHz

RAM / Memory
Latest 24GB (3 x 8GB) DDR III 1333 MHz Premium System Memory

Motherboard
JW Standard AMD AM3+ Socket 970 Chipset Motherboard

Hard Drive
1000GB (1TB) Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive

Graphics Card
2GB nVidia Geforce GTX650 - GDDR5 - DVI/HDMI/VGA - PCIe3.0 - 128bit

Sound Card
Integrated High Definition Audio Chipset (Not sure If I even need this???)

Optical Drive
Dual Layer DVD Rewriter - Supports Dual Layer (8.5GB) - Bundled With Nero Essential Burning Software (I already have a decent optical drive, not sure if I need this either)

Case/Chassis
CoolerMaster K350KWN1 Gaming Tower with 550w PSU

Power Supply
Widetech 650W Silent PSU, 140mm Cooling Fan, 2 x 6 Pin VGA PCI - Express, 4 x SATA, 5 x 4 Pin IDE

Any sort of assistance/guidance will be very appreciated, sorry if there are any mistakes I'm new to these forum type things :)
