Building a gaming PC (for real this time)

About 6 months ago, I posted a thread just like this. However, my financial situation hasn't been good enough to actually afford the PC I've been dreaming of until just about now. Below is my build, I'll be happy to hear any advice on what to change/remove/improve. The things I'm unsure of are mainly the motherboard, the RAM (just threw in a placeholder for both TBH), and the GPU (looking at other 1080s, specifically these four: http://ift.tt/2uLPdP6

As I explain below, I will almost surely not be getting the new monitor yet, but it's not 100% out of the question.

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Ayup.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming, possibly a little streaming, but not obligatory.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

I have a 1680x1050 21inch monitor, which I am going to replace for a 24inch 1440p 165hz when I get the money for it in a few months probably.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Around 1100-1200€. Note that I will be exempt from tax, so the price can be from 1300 to around 1500€. If it's exceptionally cheap, I'll consider getting the monitor now.

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Germany, having them delivered to my country. Buying from mindfactory, so going to be about 50€ for the delivery fees.

Provide any additional details you wish below. I realise many parts here are not in stock on MF currently, but I think they will be soon, and the prices are usually about the same, if not a bit lower, than for other merchants.
