Hi Sebastian,
Don't worry about this - get a piece of paper and pencil and price up a few configurations! (Surely the planning is half the fun! ) Unless there is a significant saving over buying the modules separately I personally would steer clear of the Minisystem - there is so little difference between the price of the G3 and G6 cases, buying a G6 case and half-filling it with modules is likely to work out cheaper in the long run than a completely filled a G3. You could use the module selection in the Minisystem as a rough guide, a sort of 'starting point for negotiations' (between you and your wallet!). You'll kick yourself if a week or two after buying it you decide you really need some more modules ("more modules, more modules, *must* have more modules!!!": it happened to me... :-), and then discover you'll also need to shell out what seems like a lot of dosh for the case to hold just one or two more...

There's also a *lot* of good stuff in the archives here that should give you some ideas!
