So was there a reason you don't go Ryzen 1800x or Riptide series? Also what I would do is go to a NVMe main drive 500g if possible and then get mulitple HDD 6tb or bigger that would do more if you plan to storage or NAS or just have places to backup to. Midtower is good but make sure it has Room for 1080 (1080Ti is what I would get might be much but if you want SLI and money isn't problem go Ti.) otherwise me I would go with MSI GTX1080Ti (IMO) as MSI from my experience have dual fans that each run separately of each other as needed that I recall. But remember you pay for what you get. To get close or 4K requires alot of power and most software including some games aren't 4K so unless everything is 4K that for me is hard to swallow. Get a Burning BDR drive that way you have options I know they are talking UHD but trust me how much will you really use that feature? If the drive is UHD make sure it Burns UHD BD otherwise that is a lost cause. Most movies I seen at DVD or BD are just fine for my viewing pleasure I am not running a Movie Theater set with a screen the size of Movie Theaters to start with. My biggest set is 32" big and that is big enough since I set 5 feet away from it. And that works for our Nintendo Switch when the family kids come over. As to RAM get 32g if you can unless it is price prohibited.
