Just left the nest and building my own pc for the first time. I think I've got a functional build here but would appreciate if someone could it check for me so that I haven't missed anything glaringly obvious. PC Partpicker says it should work at least. I've also added a couple of extra case fans.
Prices in Australain Dollars.
Located: Australia
Function: Budget 1080 gaming rig playing Flight Sims (DCS, IL-2). No VR plans in future. Head tracking later on.
Kinda happy where I stand on price considering I still need to add a monitor.
Appreciate any help, thanks guys.

Long time lurker, first time poster poster here.
I think I'm on track with my first build here. Hoping someone can point out any glaringly obvious flaws I'm overlooking in this budget - medium parts list.
Predominantly being used for 1080p gaming (DCS World, War Thunder, RTS games). No plans on VR.
Located in Australia, so parts in Australian Dollarydoos.
Reasonably happy on current price atm. Still need to grab a monitor, keyboard, mouse and later on head tracking equipment.

The new Donphan from Lost Thunder had me intrigued when it was first revealed. Despite Crustle having the same ability and seeing next to no play, I remained optimistic. Being unable to be OHKOed in the current format is a valuable strength with OHKO decks remaining a popular choice. My current list is looking roughly like this:
Pokémon - 14
- 4x Phanpy (LOT)
- 4x Donphan (LOT)
- 2x Voltorb
- 2x Electrode-GX
- 1x Diancie *
- 1x Oranguru
Trainer Cards - 35
- 4x Cynthia
- 3x Sightseer
- 3x Tate & Liza
- 2x Lillie

I'm looking at making a casual standard fossil deck (Tyrantrum / Rampardos) for post rotation fun. Problem is, most of our typical energy acceleration options are rotating out.
As it stands Rayquaza (GRI), Silvally GX (CIN), Alolan Marowak (FBL), Manectric (CST) and Magcargo / Magcargo GX (CST) appear to be the remaining options, albeit not great options. Super Boost Energy Prism also helps but is by no means stellar.
Fossils have never been great. The current mechanic is better than previous and the fully evolved forms seem to have some interesting gimmicks (even Auroras and Bastiodon have their own quirks). But how can they be best used without manually attaching 3 energy?
Edit: Just fo
Pokebeach is currently translating them all from the Japanese website from which they were released.
No secret rares have been shown yet so looks like we might have to wait for those.
