Looks good!
PSU is a bit too much, as even lower watage motel would work jsut fine - You will be able to put two cards with extra space between & at msot You probably sip 500-600, unless in the future grab very thursty card like TitanZ or so..but =) Your PSU will work at better efficiency with loads around 50 so it makes sense to keep it.
overall choises are fine. You can also power up screen from iGPU meaning it possible to have very fluid UI even while on heavy render loads.
nothing to add or take away.
P.S. double check if AIO cooler would not come in contact with Your motherboard/ram =) & that would be it!

Thanks! I believe its modular PSU, so just preparing for a second 1080 at some stage

This is interesting, i did a search but for some reason the search engine excludes the term "Windows", any links would be much appreciated.
