Build will actually have a i7 6700k, decided i'd go all out for this build and will disable HT for gaming. I have already ensured everything fits so don't worry about that.

My main question is just to confirm that these monster gaming PCs don't need all that much power any more. Will the 600W PSU be enough? ITX so no chance of crossfire or anything like that. I am restricted to SFX form factor. Athena does make an 800W SFX PSU, but it has two small fans, isn't as modular, and overall i'd much rather go with the 600W, assuming it is enough for a GTX 1080.

600W is more than enough for your config. Your system will draw 350-400W at most. And that's a good choice of PSU. Go for it. Good build.

Seconded. No need to disable HT whatsoever.

I think you are good.
A normal GTX1080 needs a 8 pin pcie power connector.
That will normally be found on a 520w psu.
But, the FTW cards are heavily overclocked and need two 8 pin connectors that will be 150w more.
Silverstone has a 700w sfx psu, but I think you would do equally well with a SC card. The difference in performance seems minimal.

If you are going all out, how about the titan x pascal?
It needs only a 6 and a 8 pin connector.
