Really tried to fit a GTX 1080 in the budget but with the big SSD and SFX PSU I couldn't without it being $100 over

GTX 1070 is sitll good too. So yay for $150 under budget?

I cheaped out in some places so feel free to fill in some gaps (i5 6500 -> 6600k?)

Honestly you don't need $1200 to play those games at 1080p at all.

Hi, I went with a 6600k so you can OC and get the most of very unoptimized games like WoW (which really likes single threaded performance).

For the GPU all the prices are crazy here, Nvidia promised retail prices that are non-existent as of today. However the GTX 980ti are near the $400, they perform just like the GTX 1070s but cost less.

I chose the Silverstone RVZ02 instead of the rvz01 you suggested, I think this second version looks better and has better internals. They cost the same.

For the PSU I went for the Corsair SF 600, it's the best SFX PSU on the market, it's very quiet (silverstone's SFX PSUs can be loud), has 600W and really awesome cables.

I have experiences with the SP550 from Adata, so I picked it up as your SSD, I have the 240gb version and is good, the 480GB version is supposed to be better. 

16GB ram seems good for the system, if you plan to upgrade to 32 GB in the future, I suggest you get a single 16GB stick, so you can use the other slot later down the road.

The Cooler I picked really needs more popularity, as it's one of the best (if not the best) short CPU cooler, it has a massive fan and a huge array of fins (being that they fit on this case). You are not going to do a major overclock with it, but it's comparable to a Hyper 212 EVO in performance, pretty good despite the size, 4.2GHZ should be achievable while keeping the acoustics mostly controlled.

 

So overall I went for a balanced, yet very powerful system that is still quiet despite the form factor (usually really small cases and PSUs have very small fans, and those fans are noisy).

You can get a better price than the $1201 my list has if you do rebates, and purchase from other websites like SuperBiz. I only have NCIX US, Newegg and Amazon selected, as those are the best retailers for PC components IMO. Also I found rebates annoying as hell, so I don't include them, you can if you wish.
