Build 1: I Am looking to spend $2800 AUD, I live in Australia which is AUD. I would prefer the retailers MSY or Umart as they have the best shipping pricing for me. I have all my peripherals and monitors ( 2x 1080p). I play games and use it for computational work for university. I do want to overclock and I don't need an operating system.
I play Battlefield, Arma 3, Fallout 4... , and use MAT LAB.
Build 2 is the same as build 1, expect a budget of $2000 and $800 on a laptop that I can use to play games on low-medium settings.
Thanks for all the help and recommendations on parts / laptop this is my first time posting..

You may want flashier RAM but the NH-D15 will engulf it regardless. The mobo is the only thing I'm not entirely certain about but it has good reviews, so I'd guess it's an OK board. Case might not float your boat, but there's plenty of options with the money spend on it in this build.
as far as pure performance goes the 970s would do better, but the game has to support dual GPUs which most do.
although in addition if you buy a free-sync display down the road, you save money that way with the fury, and the fury is already more than enough for 1080p and even 1440p
