A few notes:

-The case supports air coolers up to 163mm, leaving you a little wiggle room for a more substantial Noctua or Cryorig cooler, but the price on that Gammaxx can't be beat and its performance is more than capable of delivering you a modest OC. If you really want to push the envelope, you'll need a beefier (and pricier) cooler like the Cryorig H5 or Noctua NH-D15...and possibly a different case to accommodate them.

-Wait for aftermarket RX480s to come out. Reference cards have some power draw issues. A GTX 1070 would be tough to squeeze in here without making compromises elsewhere (no SSD, locked CPU with cheaper mobo). If you want to see a 1070 build, because honestly you'd get more out of a 1070 than you would the extra few hundred MHz on a K chip, let me know and I'll put one together.

-A wireless adapter isn't included here, but those are $15 or so. If you're really hard against $900, go for a smaller 1TB hard drive to make up the difference.
