I'm looking to replace my old PC entirely (Excluding storage) to increase the speed of my rendering workflow.  Ideally, I'd like to stay at or below £1200 and I would like to buying myself a GTX 1080 or 1070.  32GB of RAM is necessary for my Cinema 4D, After effects and Cineware workflow.  I do tend to travel quite a bit so sticking to mini itx would be great and because of that taking advantage of a modular psu feels like a good choice.  I will also be overclocking that CPU pretty hard :)

 

My current specs are: AMDFX 6300 @3.7Ghz, Asus MA5A97 LE R2.0, Arctic Freezer 13, 4x4GB HyperX Fury DDR3, EVGA GTX 960 4GB @1.19GHz, Corsair CX750w (Yuck!)

 

My idea stands at something along the lines of (Storage already purchased):

Does anyone have any ideas to optimise this (A 5820k in this budget would be lovely!)

 

Thank you, Tom.
