Seems like a pretty solid build. What is your budget?

You could go with the 6800K if you really wanted to. What do you plan to do on this rig?

Make sure you don't skimp on the psu. 600w should be enough, but make sure it's high enough quality to prevent frying that 1080.

Decent, though 2 things is I'd get a bit better PSU. Such as a EVGA 650w GQ and if you want, Phanteks is releasing a tempered glass version of the P400 in about 1-2 weeks

I used a Calculator which Linus recommended and it said that this setup would only use about 500W.

It's not about wattage. This setup could run on a 550w easily, it's about the quality of the PSU.
