How good is this prebuilt site in terms of money efficiency?

So I'll be moving to Australia soon for college and I found this prebuilt website they have which I found interesting.

Now I know very little about computer building and I know the most efficient way is to just build one yourself but I'm curious how this prebuilt website holds up?

 

Note: The dollars in the website are Australian dollars and not US dollars.

I was thinking about buying this PC from the website: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1411&products_id=29968&zenid=01ad2c78e81a5b01fcca3721b9ba04b6

 

What do you guys think? Is it a complete rip off?

pccasegear is generally not tooo bad. most of these retailers will also build you a computer for you (for a small price) - Generally you pay the price of the parts and up to $50 for assembly.

 

 

In that build, I'd ask about swapping the H100i for a H105 - it's way better and slightly newer. H100is seem to be the most leaky of all the corsair AIOs. I built a similar spec'd computer for about $300 less than that build - but went slightly overkill on my PSU/Cooler/Motherboard.

pccasegear is pree nice their prices are not to bad they used to offer "we will build your system for an extra 80 bucks or something" but they stopped doing that, if you wana buy a pre built system they are probably one of the better choices in aus
