Answer
Okay friend, here are my suggestions:
Processor - perfect for gaming =P
Motherboard - I have been hearing many negative comments about ASROCK but I don't know how true because what I am using right now is a gigabyte mobo and haven't tried an ASROCK yet. Why not get a better brand like ASUS, heard plenty of good comments about it actually.
HDD - 500gb is good but 1 TB is the ideal.
Video card - is the most important hardware for gaming, The HD6950 is a great card BUT if you could stretch your budget a bit you could get the GTX 560 ti 448 cores which is only "slightly slower" than the GTX 570 thus like the gtx 570, it can also play all games on max settings on 1080p with good FPS.
I actually do not know the prices there in australia so i'll just list this as a comparison:
GIGABYTE GV-R695OC-1GD Radeon HD 6950 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - $240 at newegg
EVGA 012-P3-2066-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 448 Cores FTW 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - $290 at newegg.
And here is a benchmark link where the gtx 560 ti 448 cores beats the HD6950 on almost all games =P

RAM - Very ideal, 8 gb ddr3 1600 mhz =P

In Australia I would check the prices at U-Mart and Computer alliance.

IDK, that seems a little bit high. That and the 1100T isn't much of a gaming processor. The Core i5-2500K is far better at gaming compared to the 1100T. The 6 core thing is more of a gimmick and games don't need more than 4 cores. Most games only use 2-3 cores.
I'd either get the Core i5-2500K or a Phenom II X4 955, 965, 970, or 975.
