for your res we recommend sli 570 and 2600k for best current and future performance.

for your budget best we can do is ode 1.

going with maximus and 580 is pretty much waste of your money, so is that case.

if you want sli 570/580 options you need the 1050hx for psu.

forget the cm cooler, a70 or noctua, don't waste your money on average coolers.
