Storage is missing from the pc parts list, but I have already purchased a 2tb nvme, so that can be ignored

I am currently wanting to get an all white PC build, and IDEALLY would like to go with the rear-facing cable motherboard if possible

I'll be aiming to play games in 1440p and ideally 4k (not sure how feasible it is within this budget), as well as programming.

The rear facing cable motherboard is mainly a nice to have, I like how the case looks and the mobo happens to be white which was a bonus, for 300 AUD

However, I'm not entirely sure if it's actually "worth" going for an all white build... For example, my build is currently missing out on a white GPU, which from a basic glance was going to cost around an extra ~$300

 

I would appreciate it if the PC ran quiet, and i'm not sure if the corsair AIO has a reputation for being quiet

I'd appreciate any recommendations for if i've prioritised money in a weird way, or if there are ways i can re-arrange some things and splash out more on a gpu and/or CPU

In an ideal world I wouldn't mind moving up to a 4080 super if the budget could be shimmied around

I don't have any real preference on whether or not I use AMD, Nvidia, or Intel for whatever parts, other than the above 4080 super

It would do fine but I would wait for the reviews of the 50XX cards first and those reviews should be coming out any day now.

This price is a robbery. It's only marginally better than a regular 4070ti but costs hundreds of $$ more. Edit: checked the au amazon, u mad lads.

Do you know how much hassle it might be to build a pc with a regular fan, and then swap it over to the watercooled aio at a later date?

You wont need it unless if its for aesthetics. AM5 in general has a really well behaved thermals and a simple twin tower design like Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is more than enough.

 

And for swaps itll most likely take around 15 minutes to an hour depending on how tightly you made the cable management. Remove the fans to clear for the one thats for the radiator, dismount the cooler and the backplate (dont drop it) and then install as per instructions.
