Any Changes to this build?

Looking at building a $1500-$1600 AUD gaming pc. From Australia so prices are pretty inflated.

 https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/nkd6f8

 

PC will be used for playing AAA games at preferably maxed settings, and occasional school work. 

MY budget only has room for a single 1080p monitor as of right now but plan to upgrade or buy another monitor when I can.

Have to also get windows 10 into the budget. 

 

Is there anything you would change or recommend about this build?

It's not a tumour, it's my PC!

You might want to consider getting windows from kinguin or not using windows activated (you just can't change background and there's a few small things telling you it's not activated) instead and use money saved to get an ssd. Other than that it looks good.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

What is going on with the cooler?

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Yeah something like that. You could also consider getting it from Reddit as @herman mcpootis mentioned, it feels a bit less shady imo (my friend, for example, got his key as a picture of one of those stickers on laptops and desktops, though other people have had different experiences).
