  for the ram id get 16gb patriot, i think 19-19-19 is b-die and good for oc (from memory)
  4000d airflow but get it from centrecom it has free shipping so can save some money, i think 3$ for insurance too, with the saving it may be worthwhile getting a 5000d or upping your ssd

  re cooling, if your going to oc id get a aio if your gona keep it at stock or say 4.9 both bottom coolers will do, id check clearance and get a Noctua D15 thou or the bequiet equivalent

  edit: https://www.mwave.com.au/product/deepcool-gammaxx-l360-v2-rg…

  good option, i use this one with aftermarket fans, i went this cooler because of tube length

  edit 2: on the be quiet cooler you've got you can save 12 bucks if you log into your scorptech account and put in OCAU in the members code
  showing 107 for me

  RAM: Viper - either B die or Rev E, either way it'll run 3600 and you can play with it to your heart's content

  Case: Either Silent Base 801 or 4000D-Airflow, 4000D is a great case but the 801 has awesome stock fans and noise deadening

  SSD: P5 is a great performer at that price.

  CPU Cooler: Dark Rock 4. Go big or go home (especially with the 10700K, heat is killer on those things because of the density and core design)

    Just realised Silent Base 801 has no USB-C front header :(

      Get 802, has usb c and front mesh.
      I have 801 and have to keep front panel open when gaming otherwise my water cooled gpu temp rises 20C.

        802 is like $250 with shipping :( What do you think about the PURE BASE 500DX?

    Dark Rock Pro 4 if he actually wants to go big (that cooler is massive), the regular Dark Rock 4 is a fair bit smaller, although I'd say it'd still be enough for the 10700K as it's one of the best CPU coolers.
    @OP Dark Rock 4 is $119 with free delivery at Amazon https://www.amazon.com.au/quiet-BK021-Extremely-Cooling-Perf…
    Another option for a chunky cooler you may like to consider - Scythe Fuma 2

  ssd - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/607145

  You'll be good with any cpu cooler, personally i'd get a cheaper one then upgrade to a noctua when they have a sale

  Says "1 x USB 3.1 TYPEC (Optional)" in the spec sheet of the case. Also doesnt show the port on the website.

    MiscOzB on 23/03/2021 - 11:12

    Yeah you have to spend an extra ~$30 for the USB-C cable.

      Sucks to have to buy this on top of the case

        Check this out https://www.centrecom.com.au/lian-li-pc-o11-dynamic-tempered… (There's a white version too.)
        Not as cheap as your other options but still under $200, has USB-C and looks nice (no RGB though, but can always add plenty yourself).

  The Pure Base 500DX is great value. Exellent airflow with 3 included fans. Good CPU cooler clearance. Pretty quiet. Has RGB strips inside and outside the case. Build quality is pretty good.

  Nice scores on the parts!

  Ram - I like the look of the patriot 4400mhz that you see deals on here quite a bit. I wouldn't mind getting some and playing around with it.

  SSD - Get at least 1tb - 500gb isn't much these days - 2 big games and an OS basically. Some of the samsung deals on here got me looking lately. I would probably get 2 980 1tb and run them in raid just so I could see the 13gbps read speeds.

  CPU cooler - I'd probably just jump on the noctua bandwagon, enough said.

    Thanks mate, what do you recommend in the case department?

  I would go for the NZXT H510 + Noctua NH-U9S + Crucial P5 500GB + Patriot Viper Steel Series DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz CL18

  Kingston SSD for the win, but yes, go for 1TB you will fill it up quick
