MB - I prefer ASUS or Gigabyte, then fall back to MSI if prices aren't cooperative. The Gigabyte below is a mid-priced board with M.2, SLI support and will handle a good overclock. Other options with the Z270 chipset => https://de.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/z2Z2FT,zqVBD3,dZjWGX,G9X2FT/

CPU COOLER - A 120mm / 140mm water cooler is fine, but it won't do as good of job as a good air cooler for less cost. There is nothing wrong with an AIO, but there is less value there.. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-cpu-coolers,4181.html If you are considering an AIO => https://de.pcpartpicker.com/products/compare/9FgPxr,GjH48d,p3fp99,3VrG3C/

MEM - Those are the lowest cost DDR4-3000 modules from a good manufacturer. You could...

Overclock as you please. Add a second GTX 1080 in SLI when / if you need more graphics muscle.

SSD - Without jumping to a much more expensive NVMe drive, the SK hynix is priced very nicely. Others to consider are in this article => http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-ssds,3891-2.html

HD - Less failures with the WD Blue and it performs well. With an SSD handling the majority of the workload, you don't need to focus on a performance drive here.

GPU - MSI and EVGA are known for good GPUs and good cooling solutions. Look toward their factory overclocked variants for not much more than a reference design.

CASE - Lots of personal preference here so look around for something you like. Phanteks is known for good cases with good airflow and low noise. Also check out Fractal Design or NZXT cases.

PSU - It is easy to just say stick with XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 / G3 lineup... or you can also filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
