I'm pretty new when it comes to building pcs but i really need one for university this year (studying 3D animation) pplease let me know if there's anything i should change. Thank you for helping I'm getting a bit desperate as uni is starting soon ;-;

You don't need a liquid cooler, for fuck's sake. Get some cheap-ass hyper 212 clone.
You can go cheaper on the mobo, but the one you picked is not so bad.
You don't need 16gb RAM.
You probably don't need 250gb on your ssd either, so check some cheaper ones.
Buy a WD black with the money you saved, infinitely bettter than blues.
You went overkill on the PSU, you could make due with 650W.
For a card you want at least a GTX 960, if you want to spend more go AMD or 980ti.

How much do you want to spend on this?

>You don't need 16gb RAM.
Yes he does: this is an actual work PC that'll be doing actual work.
16 is a bare minimum; rendering will only get faster with more RAM than that.

Thank you for understanding.

I have around 2,500 aud saved up. I don't want to go too crazy but as above i really do need something that'll crunch rendering.

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I was a bit worried it'd take a beating with the rendering so went for that cooling option.

The Hyper 212 and it's clones can more than handle the load, besides, watercooling is only really useful if you're doing acustom loop with your GPU, which you won't.

I sshould really stop putting off buying it. Thanks for all the advice guys ^^

Consider getting GTX 970. You'll be able to run every game on Ultra in 60 FPS and fill the recommended specs for Oculus Rift. The only better card worth considering would be 980 Ti, in the event you wanted to max out Witcher 3 in 4K (bit then, you'd also need a 4K G-Sync monitor).
If you're going to do mostly 3D animation/rendering you could always look into Quadro GPUs
... Just saying.
