Primary purpose for this will be gaming - need to buy/build soonish as current PC is outdated and parts are broken.
Main considerations were choosing between the 3600 and 5600, and opting for a non-stock CPU cooler. Decided the 5600 was unnecessary so settled on the 3600, and heard average things about the stock cooler so choose the 212.
NZ based so affects what options available - not too fussed about price at around this range.
Any feedback would be great!

I have heard the 30 series GPU's do have a problem with power spikes, I think it would be safe to go with a 750w PSU. Also, consider if you will actually need 5tb of storage.
Mhmm, good point. Only $10 more to upgrade the PSU
