Don't need sound card and get a better PSU, otherwise excellent build .

Few suggestions:
Drop the sound card unless you really need that kind of audio, for games and general use the MB onboard is plenty good enough.
Consider a better quality PSU, the CX isn't horrible, but there's better out there.
I'd go for 2x8Gb memory rather that 4x4, but it's your choice.
Green fans! Oh, come on!
A great deal here depends on the monitor/s you'll be using, that big GTX1080 demands at least a 144Hz 1080 display to make any sense at all, and really wants a fast 1440 screen.
