Shopping for a new rig

Hi all! I'm cruising for a new gaming machine after suffering through my last one for over 6 years without appreciable upgrades. This is what I put together on my own; would love some thoughts/advice.


Budget:
$2.5k top end, less is better. :)

Expectations:
A stable, smooth gaming rig with a one-monitor (1440) setup in a setting with good climate control.

Usage:
Both single player and multiplayer gaming (Skyrim, World of Warcraft, Dawn of War I-III, Heroes of the Storm, Civ VI) at moderate to high settings, home office work.

Special Needs:
None.

Oh, thanks for the catch on the PSU. I appreciate that.

If I went for the GTX 1080, I presume you'd recommend the (EVGA ACX 3.0)variant? Would I need to change anything else about the config?
