Yes everything except for the orange LED fan is compatible. However, it's a bit of a strange build. The PSU is way over the top, the RAM is pretty extreme and the motherboard is high-end, but then you've skimped on the case and CPU cooler, so it's certainly not the most balanced build.

What do you want to do with this build? Where in AU do you live (there might be cheaper retailers nearby)? What is your budget? And does your budget include peripherals (is so which ones)?

Better GPU, larger SSD, better HDD, motherboard has M.2/ SATA Express, a smaller but top of the line PSU and a decent case, although you should change the case to something you like aesthetically. You'll probably want to spend at least $100 on the case, to get something with decent airflow. And since you're building such a nice rig, look for something with dust filters so you don't have to clean it as often.
