You should've used the export button at the top right. What will you do with the build? Get a single rail PSU

That PSU rings all the wrong bells/alarms. Replace that thing with the EVGA G2 750W for potential SLI in the future. The rest looks solid to me

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

There's something rotten about Australian pricing, or the exchange rate, or both.
