Do you actually need 'Pro' Windows, what features do you need? If none then get Home as there is no performance difference. Also I'm not keen on that PSU, you really want a tier 1 from this list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Do you really need 1tb ssd? Take 500gb with 2tb - 7200rpm drive, but that's your choice.

I would say to upgrade cpu cooler, yes evo212 is great, but you've got an i7 there, which from what ive seen, that cooler doesn't handle very well for overclocking.

With the 1080 gpu I hope you got a really good monitor lined up, cuz if you only wish to play 1080p at 60hz, you might as well run gtx1060

I wasnt sure about Pro vs Home, so I will get Home instead, and thanks I will have a look at the Tier 1 list

Yeh I really need a 1TB SSD with all the stuff that I do, what cooler would you recommend for the cpu? I want the 1080 as I want to do some 4K gaming later on

Well, there are many good choices, there is more "preference" than the "best" choice these days. The evo is good, but it will lack in the high oc and with your budget I think you can fit a much better cooler into the build. Here, have a look at this, pretty recent cooler over view for the leaders.
