Very informative, thank you! Perhaps put a link in your signature so other people can find it

The RMi has corsair link (custom fan curve software, unnecessary imo) and a fluid bearing fan which will last marginally longer.
The RMx doesn't have corsair link, and has a rifle bearing fan (slightly worse).
There is functionally no difference. If you're a control freak about fan curves, get the RMi, but remember you're paying a premium for very little difference between the two.

definately

I would recommend eating and drinking away from a PC that you are building, such as leaving any glasses of water in the kitchen instead of on the table where you are building. Just so there's no risk of accidentally knocking over and spilling liquid on to any of the parts.
 
Are you even building a PC if you haven't invited your friends over to help/watch you build it as your friends make jokes about how bad your old PC was while consuming copious amounts of mountain dew and Doritos?

send it back ,if it's only with the extension it's probably is it's issues causing it.

Ah, my favourite adaptive sink.

Looks good, you should post pics when its done.

Case in point

What resolution are you playing at? 1080p and you'll want the RX580. 1440p and its a tight tussle between the 1070 and 980 ti. The 1070 barely beats it performance-wise, but it's up to you whether that warrants spending an extra £30 for it.

Yes, sorry about the confusion.  Been a long day/night here and still got to reset all the clocks because of Daylight Savings.

I'm not sure how 250 - 400 AUD translates to which phone tier you're looking at, but here's my advice:
Absolute minimum 16GB storage. Avoid that if possible. Never get 8GB or lower storage because you'll never fit all your apps on it. 
The top pick if you can afford it would be the Oneplus 5 or 5T.
 
Lower down in the market is the Moto G5 (Although I disagree with Lenovo's management of the Moto series), and the Nokia 6. Ideally you'd buy this year's model of the Nokia 6 but that's coming in April. I have the 2017 Nokia 6 and it's a little slow overall because of the low-end snapdragon 400 series processor.
 
You may find second hand phones at this price point. If you're looking for these, try to get the Samsung Galaxy S or Note series, or LG V series from at most 2 generations ago. Older than that and you'll end up with slow phones with degraded batteries.
 
If you find a phone you like but from a brand name you haven't heard of, you may want to be wary. They tend to package loads of crapware with the phone which fills the storage and slows the phone.
You want at least 3GB RAM these days, a Snapdragon 600 series (625, 635) or 800 series (830, 835, 845) processor (Although there are similar CPUs from other manufacturers).
 
Finally, I'm not sure how important this is where you are, but I would try to buy the phone outright sim-free, then get a sim-only contract with a carrier to avoid potentially paying more and being locked into something you don't want.

AMD GPU Shipments Increased Big Time in Q4 2017, NVIDIA and Intel Decline – Over 3 Million Graphics Card Sold To Crypto Miners in 2017
 
The latest GPU market report from Jon Peddie research has been released and shows that AMD gained a good chunk of the GPU market share during fourth quarter of 2017. At the same time, both NVIDIA and Intel witnessed decline in GPU market share.

When breaking down the numbers, it looks like AMD won this quarter big time with a market share increase of 8.1%. At the same time, NVIDIA decreased -6% while Intel decreased -2%. The current market share looks like the following:
AMD @ 14.2% (versus 13.0% Last Quarter)
NVIDIA @ 18.4% (versus 19.3% Last Quarter)
Intel @ 67.4% (versus 67.8% Last Quarter)

AMD was the main benefactor of the total mining hardware sales of $776 million as reported in the article. When comparing the graphics chip market segments, almost the entire industry saw a downward trend in Q4 2017 which include Discrete Graphics for desktop, Notebook integrated and embedded for mobility systems. The discrete notebook market and desktop integrated and embedded platforms saw a increase in growth rate of 3.6% and 3.0% respectively.
 
Also one reason why Intel’s share isn’t affected as big as AMD or NVIDIA is that they sell their GPUs as iGPUs which is integrated within their mainstream desktop and notebook processors. This make iGPUs unaffected by the crypto mining craze and the Intel GPU sales remain normal.
 
Quick highlights
 - AMD’s overall unit shipments increased 8.08% quarter-to-quarter, Intel’s total shipments decreased -1.98% from last quarter, and Nvidia’s decreased -6.00%.
 - The attach rate of GPUs (includes integrated and discrete GPUs) to PCs for the quarter was 134% which was down -10.06% from last quarter.
 - Discrete GPUs were in 36.88% of PCs, which is down -2.67%.
 - The overall PC market increased 5.93% quarter-to-quarter, and decreased -0.15% year-to-year.
 - Desktop graphics add-in boards (AIBs) that use discrete GPUs decreased -4.62% from last quarter.
 - Q4’17 saw no change in tablet shipments from last quarter
 

 
“Gaming has been and will continue to be the primary driver for GPU sales, augmented by the demand from cryptocurrency miners.,” said Dr. Jon Peddie, President of Jon Peddie research. We expect demand to slacken from the miners as margins drop in response increasingly utilities costs and supply and demand forces that drive up AIB prices. Gamers can offset those costs by mining when not gaming, but prices will not drop in the near future.”  via Jon Peddie Research
 
Jon Peddie also reports that prices of add-in-boards are not expected to drop in the near future which is something that NVIDIA has already acknowledged. The current situation is that mining enthusiasts are eating up entire supplies of discrete graphics cards and the production just can’t keep up with the huge demand. These figures might have been even higher if there were zero constraints with GPU production but right now, crypto mining has exceeded the gaming market in terms of GPU revenue.

Astralis. Followed them from when they came from TSM, they were doing something different than the rest and I wanted to follow where it ended up. So far not too bad.

Yeah, stretch is a word for it.

Have a poke around craigslist, ebay, whatever. There could be good deals on mobos from that generation. It'll be hard to find an unused LGA1150 motherboard.

Could you provide some statistics to back that up?

Yeah, stretch is a word for it.

It is technically possible, although it is unlikely to happen.
