You didn't need to post it 3 times.  Honestly, it makes me not want to help.

ok

 

[HKZeroFive]

Seems like a aesthetics>performance oriented build... Not what I'd call good value for your money.

 

Not including the mouse and headset since in your builds those are left out of the budget.

What are you using it for? It looks waaaaaaaaaay too unbalaced

[Daniel Z.]

wow

[Daniel Z.]

Are you OCing?

[phongle123]

IMHO, if anything has to call itself professional then it's not highly regarded enough to be known by professional users and it has to self-proclaim itself professional.

 

However, for 2500$ you get 2x GTX 1080 and you water-cool that dude!

 

1 AUD = .77 USD therefore he has 1925$ to spend in USD.

 

That RX 470 for 335*.77=258$ that's WAY TOO expensive. We are getting RX 480 8GB here for 190$ every week. I don't know about AU e-tailers though so you're better off trying to find a better price.

AU has GST, which is +10% tax on everything + import costs

The sites he link's to are already AU sites so I think they are already in country. Unless the site itself added the extra price on it because the site had to pay the import costs and the consumer has to pay an even higher premium.

BX200 is a shit ssd, 3 year old architecture, low end case

[Daniel Z.]

BX200 is still good unless you need very good speed and performance. Case looks cool tho. I have Samsung 850 EVO and S340
