Hey guys so I've put this together after some research. I'm not 100% sure if what I've gone with is a good idea and so I have some questions.

1. Will it work? Simply will all the parts fit together and inside the case.
2. Are there things I can go for a cheaper option or things I should buy something more expensive of?
3. Is this build a good idea and a good one for the money overall?
4. Are the amazon links the same thing and will they work as I intent to get them over the PC Part Picker websites listed.

Just a side note I live in Australia. Also I plan to buy some of these parts off amazon (I'll link below) and I need checking whether they are the same thing and it they will work with the rest of the system.

Thanks in advance for any responses!

1. Yes it will work just fine!

2. You may want to consider an ATX motherboard if you can find one that is cheaper? I don't reccomend ASRock but their new boards may be better than previous designs.

3. That CPU and the GTX 760 are a good combo and the GTX 760 is just a fantastic card!

4. The PSU you linked is a 500w variant, it should be fine but just be aware. The RAM is high profile RAM so you may have issues with large air coolers but since you don't have a K series processor I am guessing you will be using the stock fan?
