You better use PCPartPicker to choose part. As for your build, it look good to me, but I'm alittle bit skeptical about the mobo, a Z97 could be better if you want to upgrade CPU later on, but then, a Xeon like that will probably last you for quite sometime anyway

The stock cooler should be quite sufficient, unless the environment is particularly warm.

 

Does "shipping fees" include any taxes and/or duties that will be charged?

PCPartPicker doesn't display price from variety stores so it's not really helpful for me.

I live in Australia and sometimes the weather gets to 40 degree and over. 

I'll have to pay the tax if I buy anything from overseas from $1000+. The total price of the amazon items doesn't exceed $1000 so I'll just only pay for the shipping fees.

Apparently, CPL has the worst customer service and slow purchase process in Australia http://www.productreview.com.au/p/computer-parts-land/2.html
