I live in Australia, prices are different here from the USA

I too live in Australia and I know you're not getting a PC of that calibre on that budget.

 

EDIT: Seeing how you're buying the GTX 1070 separately and don't plan to overclock, here's what I suggest:

Turn the 6700k into a 6600k. You don't need that much power.

 

Either get change the MoBo or the possessor. You can't overclock on a H170 chipset, so you can either turn the possessor into a i7-6700 or change the MoBo into a Z170 chipset MoBo, which supports overclocking.

I have though of that. I don't need z170 because I have i7 6700K and its more expensive

You don't need a i7-6700k unless you are a content creator. Trust me, if you overclock you i5, it will behave similarly to it.
