So I'm investing in a budget gaming build that sources and benchmarks have said that it'll get around 50-70 fps on high- medium settings for most aaa games. Could anyone suggest anything? The games I'd play the most would be GTA 5, BF1 and Star Wars Battlefront.
So yeah give me suggestions on parts and what not. (In AUD by the way)
Here's the build~

Note I found out that the G4560 has an almost identical performance to the i3 6100 for much less. Would that be worth it?

You are good.
A balanced gamer will budget about 2x the cost of the cpu for the graphics card. Spot on there.

Spend what you must for a case you love, it will be with you for a long time.

450w is more than enough, good enough for a GTX1060.
But, depending on if you get the new gen CX psu or the old, it is not a great psu.
Perhaps tier 4 on this list:

Buy a tier 1 or 2 unit like the Seasonic .

Lastly.

I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. It makes everything you do much quicker.
120gb is minimum, it will hold the os and a handful of games.
But, many things default to the "C" drive.
When a SSD nears full, it will lose performance and endurance...

It is a better price/performance ratio to get the pentium. ! thing i would change is get an SSD, according to Mike Smith (A guy who is a computer technician who is kinda known) said "After i install this SSD it will be life-changing". Trust me once i went into the transition for HDD to SSD it was truly "life changing". But overall your build is neat.

Yea but the only better cpu there is to that is the pentium g4600 which is only .1 ghz faster and way more expensive and the i3 lineup is just way too expensive to what he is getting as the pentium he is getting has hyper-threading in it. The next best cpu is the i5 lineup bet for his bidget build i think he won't be able to fit it in his budget.

240gb is the recommended minimum.

If you can go 240gb, or 500gb you may never need a hard drive.

You can defer on the hard drive unless you need to store large files such as video's.
It is easy to add a hard drive later.

Samsung EVO is a good choice for performance and reliability.
