Need recommendations for MOBO!

[r1Ns3]

Hello! third post so go easy on meh
 
So I am soon going to get a new computer and I can't find a motherboard. I am mainly looking for an ASUS board and don't really want a gigabyte or anything else.
 
I want a gaming motherboard so that I can overclock my graphics card and my cpu probably. I want to use this almost 24/7 and my whole PC budget is around $2100 AUD (Australian only)
 
This is what I have organised:

(btw are you taking a HDD from somewhere else? 250GB wont get you too far)

Don't get the thermal paste- it comes with the cooler. Why 16GB? No need for 750W PSU. 600W is enough.

Oh didn't know thermal paste came with the case lmao! thanks bro just saved me 10 bucks now I can literally buy shadow of mordor off g2a.com for same price LOL Thanks free game rip

 

Also I do know that it takes only like 500 watts to run the computer but is 750 watts enough for future upgrades lasting up to 3 years? I want to last 3 years and maybe then get sli/crossfire or a better graphics card? Or would I have to get a new PSU? If I have to get a new PSU even with 750 watts then that's fine I will switch to 600 watts thanks dude!

 

NVM turns out 750 watts is same price as 650 watts same specs lmao free upgrade!

 

16gb because i sometimes do some heavy graphics design and the difference between 8gb benchmarks on c4d is so different to 16gb
