Fractal Case Node 202 is a great case http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/node-series/node-202

 

Go with a 6700K, Z170 650W 240GB 8GB

Gaming PC means GPU and a 6700k alone takes over half the budget.

i5 12600k | ASRock Z690M-ITX 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz | EVGA 2080 Super Black | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB + 980 1TB | Corsair RMx 650W | Thermaltake Tower 100 White

What gpu would be good for 60 fps med/High then?

I would go with a 1050 Ti or 1060 6GB for ultra 1080.

 

Also, red team RX 470 and 480 are good as well.

Instead get a 6500 because you won't need the hypertreadiNg with a HTPC and there is no need to overclock with a mini ITX, you just won't have the cooling, plus you can save lots of money by not getting z170, you could prob get a 1060 for that price also but it won't game at 4k
