Saving Money on My Gaming Build?

[Broba Fett]

So I have $1500, no more, to spend. I need a whole computer, plus a monitor and keyboard, and my current build (below) is a fair way over budget.

So where could I shave money on this without affecting performance? (I don't really want to change the keyboard as what I've heard is it's excellent, but if theres another that is cheaper, please mention it ). Also, with an SSD, are they worth it? I was just going to put my OS onto the drive, but are loading times noticeably quicker? I have no experience with them.

I live in Australia as well, as evident in the fact I have used PartPicker AU, so stuff is a lot more expensive here than say, the US. Shipping in bits from other parts of the world just isn't feasible with courier costs. I want to try overclocking as well, and from what I've read a liqud CPU cooler is ideal. Overkill? this is my first build, and though I think I know a fair bit, I still want some feedback and help . Any of that would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks.
