i am looking to build my first pc. Above is the list of parts that some of my friends have helped me create. My budget is around $1500 and i was wondering if anyone could review/improve this build so i get the best performance for my price range. Thanks for any input.

i live in Australia btw

It's not bad, but I would recommend a H270 motherboard. Also, For that price, geta 250 SSD, instead of a PCIe, you probably will not even notice that speed difference. But if you are getting that, a Z270 may be better for upgrading in the future.
