I would really like to put the RTX 3080 in here but in Australia it is the equivalent of $1000 USD!!! Any way i could fit it within the budget?

If you're gonna wait for the 3070 to come out on the 15th... why not wait for the new AMD chips to come out on the 8th which is before then?

You might be able to get more for your money if you get the new AMD processors instead of the 3000 series.

if you want to save money, get rid of the AIO and throw in a good aircooler, and go for non rgb ram, 3600mhz cl16 if possible, maybe a cheaper case as well. I am not to familiar with prices in Australia so apologies if some of my pricing is off

this is the way

some swapped parts all around. 3600c16 ram, a proper nvme, and the mesh lancool 2 b/c the non mesh sucks. oh yeah and i swapped the 3700x for a 3600 as in games theres not much difference, especially at 1440p/4k. if youre playing at 1080p you shouldnt be considering amd nor a 3080 lol
