Solution

To use the fx-6300 to it's full potential you'd want an aftermarket cooler
The mobo i picked is 990FX instead of 970
The G.Skill ram has lower latency and is clocked higher
I was a bit confused about the graphics card because I didn't see one
those are my reasons and here's a new build

... still $872. Weird.

Australian to US prices are insane.
Both builds without CPU cooler have about a $200 price difference.
It's about $600 for that in the US.
