Looks like a really good build. Maybe replace the PSU by something a bit better ~750-800W if you want to use SLI later.

The only thing I'd change out is the power supply to EVGA's G2 series. I do have another suggestion but I don't know if it's even available in Australia yet. That other suggestion being a Kraken x41. It's a thicker 140mm radiator, meaning better temps, with nicer software and a cooler (at least in my opinion) CPU block. Also the Gigabyte cards are a little loud but it shouldn't be too loud especially in that Define R4 case.

You gotta do you girl. I always say you gotta do you. And if he's doing him, then who's doing you? Because right now, it seems like no one's doing you.
