Your HDDs, do you mind 5400RPM? I would get something (this is the model number ST1000DM010) like that

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Spoiler

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Why you don't consider Ryzen for a workstation?

It is just fine for 1080p, or amazing for 1080p, so it isn't overkill but filled up the needs

Depends on the application, but overall Ryzen is better for workstation use.

A AiO is a total overkill for a Ryzen CPU. A 30€ Air Cooler is more then enough. Plus I think that the GTX1070 is a overkill too because I think that you want to use it for Workstation work loads like Rendering. If you consider to use your GPU for rendering it would be a good choice but when not you should think about taking a RX580 instead. Please do not buy Windows at 135$. You can get a legal key for round about 20€. A 750W PSU is too much for your system. A good choise might be a Straight Power 500W. (I think I should create a updated picker list :D)

Use an more expensive GPU, a GTX 1080 or something like that.

That's cause the PSU doesn't have pricing data in AU, and neither does the SSDs or RAM. 

idk

A AiO makes totally no sense because it is louder then a proper air cooler and it is simply too much for a 90W TDP CPU.
