well, I have the guitar from the ibanez pack (i didn't get the pack, I just got the guitar seperately) and I don't really like it for metal at all. so, my suggestion is not to get a pack, but instead, get these:
I've heard only good things about this amp so you might want to get that as your amp
check out this guitar (it would probably be better for metal then the ibanez, and you could just upgrade later when you can afford to, or if you're willing to stretch your budget some, then you could check out the low end ESPs)
this stand
this tuner
one of these straps
this cable
why not throw these picks in?
you don't really need a gig bag unless you are going to take your guitar somewhere but if you want one, then here's one
and these strings (they are good for metal, they are what I use, and I play metal)

whew, now that I've just completely assembled a custom package for you, the total cost of that all was $301.82 USD (including the gig bag) which translates to $401.13 AUD... and if you take out the gig bag, you could spring for a fancier cable or strap. so there you go, there's what I would have bought if I had to go back in time to when I was buying my first gear... but, you'll probably end up wanting to upgrade the guitar after a few months to a year. I would get a better cable and strap as soon as you could afford them too.
