Just  want to know if im missing anything or if there are any components in this build that should be changed

Also wanted i wanted to keep options open for running SLI and overclocking in the future

Get a 600W PSU. The Strix only needs 1x 6pin for power.

I thought it was 1 x 8pin

I thought it was 1 x 8pin

I have a 500W PSU with 2x (6+2 cables) so it can support a card with 2x 8 pins connectors, you dont need a PSU you've selected there's no point

True that helps a lot 

if i run a 500w Psu will i have issues when i want to start overclocking and running SLI?

It is 'pcpartpicker.com' just all prices are in AUD, us Aussies don't want to see USD prices. A $2000 AUD system is only $1500 USD, so we might think we have enough money but we don't because of them currency differences.

It would be a you might be able to overclock it stably on 500 W if its a gold or higher, as for SLI the minimum wattage for SLI at stock voltages is 483 W but I would suggest 600 if neither are overclocked and about 700 if you want to do them both
