I had a look at secret.com.au... its prices are still more expensive than fluidtek's
There's like a $10 difference between the Hard disks, $50 between the CPUs, $30 between the DVD burners... much more on video cards. I could go on forever.
Have a look at www.fluidtek.com.au/webcontent46.htm
That page is so good, that only 1 week ago, the price of a Pioneer 108D went down from $128 to $115 today.

Try http://www.umart.com.au/ . Good site for building computers, but if you're more comfortable with a computer store, then build a computer at umart, print out the quote, and ask if the computer store you want can beat it.
They'll ususally get it a bit cheaper so you'll go with them and not the original quoting company

Before I was sure I was going to get a computer, my computer hardware knowledge dated back to the time of GeForce 4 MX 440's and AMD Athlon XP1800+'s
Now since I am getting a new computer, I've done my research and have updated my comp knowledge quite a bit. After doing this research, I found that I have marked fluidtek as a benchmark for prices.
So I advise you to do some research as well, if you have time that is. Hey, it's really interesting learning about it
As for your system, it depends on what you want to use it for... I suppose you could go with a P4.
Constructing your own system can let you create a 'better-end' system than those cheapy ones at the local computer stores that use (yuck) generic everything.
Basically, you can create a mid-high end system for about 1500 bucks. Add a bit more if you want a sexy LCD.
Have a check here

It should give you a general idea about what to expect. Assuming you are not a hardcore gamer that would like Doom 3 on the highest settings (cool if you would though XD), just minus a hundred bucks or two from one of the pre-stated systems and viola! That's uh... pretty much what you would get :S

My dear God... she most definitely does NOT need a bloody 6800 ultra. Not even I would get that thing. Nope, a Radeon 9600SE is good enough for all her gaming needs. If you say the 9600 is gay, you're wrong. I have a GF4 MX440 and it can run uh... nearly everything. Considering the 9600 is three times the cost of the card I have now, it's more than enough, and it's only $120~
512 DDR is enough for her I suppose. Not like she needs to have 2 games, Photoshop, and Windows Media Player running all at the same time. Spend a bit more cash on a 120 gig HDD. It's only like 30 bucks extra. I think she can spend the rest on a nice LCD because for some reason chicks get horny over em
