That's an 3 year old CPU
Is there a good sale on that SSD since you choose it?
I personally do not like full size cases, they make NO sense if you do not do an oversized full watercooled build, so much wasted space that it just looks awkward.
1000W is overkill, no reason to go with such a high watt power supply. even a 850w would be fine for 2x 1080 SLI.
Do you still use the old CD/DVD technologi? Haven't personally had use for a DRW for many years.
What audio speakers/headphones do you have since you go with a sound-card?

Honestly would be braindead to get an 6 core Haswell-x 3.3Ghz when you can get an AMD Ryzen 8 core 3.4Ghz for a lower price.
Would even get you a significant lower heat and watt usage.

So headset i got Astro A40, not sure if its worth having the soundblaster card with those.

As for the optical drive , its nice to have so yeah I use it sometimes.

For the SSD I dont belive there is a sale for it its still around 400$ i belive or more, might want to pick a different one so i could maby get a 1080 ti

For the Power Supply its nice to have abit of extra , but since you say its overkill , i could grab a less expensice one

And that 3 years old CPU is still pretty good : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117402&ignorebbr=1

has nice reviews too

As for the case i just went for a nice one thats pretty much it.

Onboard soundcard is fine for those. You won't heard a difference in sound output quality.
400$ for that SSD?! Shouldn't be worth more than 200$CA which a 850evo costs.

If you go by passmark score, than check 31 spots above it, 1700x it's even cheaper...
No reason to by outdated hardware because the reviews was good back then.
