Hey guy's, my name is Paul and I'm looking at buying this build in Australia in 1 month time! But, Im not sure as to what PSU I should get and case fans for cooling. I got 2 x 120 SP Quite Edition at the front and sides and 2 x 140 AF Quite Edition and for CPU I have Corsair Hydro Series H80i GT 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler.

Ok, so here are my parts;

Case: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33718/corsair-carbide-300r-compact-gaming-case-with-window

Mobo: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/32870/asrock-z170-pro4-motherboard

CPU: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/32843/intel-core-i5-6600k

(Will be over clocking to 4.2, I'm not sure if I should just wait a little longer and upgrade it to i7-6700K)

CPU Cooler: Mentioned before, https://www.pccasegear.com/products/31623/corsair-hydro-series-h80i-gt-120mm-liquid-cpu-cooler

GPU: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/29092/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-970-g1-gaming-4gb

HDD/SSD: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/26165/western-digital-wd-black-1tb-wd1003fzex

and

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/31355/samsung-850-evo-series-m-2-250gb-ssd

(SSD is for OS and main applications suchs as; LoL and a few others... I'm not sure whether I should wait a little longer and upgrade it to 500GB)

RAM: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33687/g-skill-ripjaws-v-series-f4-2400c15d-16gvr-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4

OD: Not needed.

PSU: ....???

You were viewing US prices. For the same AU price $2450~, here is a system that has a 980 and a gorgeous Samsung 27" 1440p IPS monitor

You dont need WD blacks. HDDs slow as molasses and have to be backed up anyway. Seaget is fine for half the price.
You dont need overclocking minor increase that costs $ better spent on GPU and monitor.
Games dont use hyperhreading , you dont need i7.
You dont need fans if you get a good case.

All you need is a case & PSU.

Fractal R5 and an EVGA 650w.

This is the list I've made about an hour ago, but clearly I can't make my mind up about the parts, like what's worth getting and what's not, performance/dollar.
