which of these builds should I pick? and what should I change? (budget $5000AUD)

[Tipsy_Kangaroo]

Currently working on my first build, my budget is around $5000AUD, I currently have 4 different builds in this spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1620paBuglvrvf3n_CoKmiFmCMnuwRYWFHkiMZ6UZwN4/edit?usp=sharing)

The last one is my preferred one, is there anything you would recommend changing, it will be used for, gaming, streaming, rendering videos and images, and for daily use.

Going to put it into a glass topped desk eventually, that's what there is so much RGB, which will end in me getting 64Gb of RAM when that eventually happens if I end up using one of the last two builds.

NEVER buy a Thermaltake power supply. Also, water cooling isn't worth it. Don't. For the same price without the water cooling I got you another graphics card.

1) any specific reasons? 

2) reason for water cooling is because I'm building something like Linus' desk pc

Consider this build. All vendors are Australian based.

That cooler won't cut it if the op wants to overclock. The 8700K runs hot.

 

Why 2 x Vega 56 ? You can get a GTX 1080 for less. Also multi gpu setups are not that great anyway. Better to stick with a single gpu i.e GTX 1080 ti.

 

Why 2 hard drives ? 

 

Won't need a 1200W psu.

I didn't see you trash post #3 by orbitalbuzzsaw. 

 

Your opinion is worthless if you do not submit your suggested computer build.

I didn't trash your post either. I am just pointing out what I think is wrong with it. It is called having an opinion. 

 

If you want me to post a build then sure.

Some nice parts but not really into multi-GPU, at least not yet, also kind of an Nvidia  fanboy.

To back up all my data, never making that mistake again, not after the first time.

Loving the look of that case and RAM (if only i could get 32Gb in white), I'll be sure to check it out.
Modified the spreadsheet to make it easier to read, it also now shows the order of my choices.

I don't know if they do that 32GB kit in White, but you could always get 2 x (2 x 8GB) kits. It would look better aesthetics wise with all 4 dimm slots filled up.

I should be able to live with them been black, the trident Zs were black anyway, if I really can't stand them I'll just plasti-dip them, since I do want to upgrade to 64Gb eventually 

[Tipsy_Kangaroo]

So pretty much fully decided, now I just need to save up a bit more cash and hope in the meantime prices drop a bit
