You want 2x4gb over 1x8gb. Ram is designed to work in pairs and you will see 10% improvement over a single stick.
You want a better power supply for the GPU.

Both of these issues where taken care of by Blackbird.

If you have specific games in mind I would look at which performs better between the GTX-1060 vs the 480.

You have a micro atx motherboard but an ATX case. Unless the case lets you move the motherboard standoffs around, you need to switch the case if you want to keep the motherboard.

If you checked PCPartPicker or the OEM site, the case supports mATX boards.
All but one hole in MicroATX configuration is exactly the same as ATX standard, and pretty much all cases are backwards compatible with MicroATX and FlexATX. You would pretty much have to really go out of your way to find an ATX case that did not support this.
