Just recently put a build together, since the holiday season is coming around I thought I'd buy myself a new setup, and this is what I've come up with, let me know any suggestions if you think this build could be made better and more efficient.

Thanks 😀

Wouldn't go with an FE GPU, would go with a solution that has better cooling. With Pascal, GPU Boost 3.0 inherently boosts the clock speed given different current readings on the card--FE cards often knock down the clock speed down to stock speeds due to heat (so it's not technically thermal throttling... but when some cards are auto boosting to 1900MHz, it might as well be when you're sitting at 1500-1600MHz).
 
SSD 250GB with a 1TB mechanical secondary drive.

take your pick.... these are all good reviews. the best will be the samsung 850evo.

Because not everything is available in every country. For instance Cryorig CPU coolers are available in the US and Taiwan, but not in Canada or the UK. That case you chose may not be available everywhere either. And as others have stated here currencies vary drastically. Prices in AUD (Australian Dollars) are much, much higher than they are in USD (US Dollar).
