Yeah, I can't read it either. It looks to be deliberately obtuse and,
as Moose says, a lot of overkill for PS use.
Why not take the parts list (and rationale) from the Australian site to
a local computer shop that does their own builds and let them interpret
that based on the components available to them (many of which will turn
out to be the same). Let them give you a quote on that and ask them to
identify where they've deviated, why and what it might mean to
performance. I think you'll save a lot of money over buying from Dell.

ps: I had considered building my own before I bought the HP since I
used to do that in the past. But the HP was a refurbished bargain and I
couldn't pass it up.
