Some other options compared to your option,

all are cheaper and being atx still fit that case you want.

Why the SFX in the first place? SFX psu's are smaller and really meant for smaller cases and i know that this one comes with an ATX bracket.But it being SFX also limits it's cable/connector count,so less sata connectors,less pcie connectors etc.

Depends on which gpu as well.

im thinking about asus rog strix 1080 and i8700k

Well a good quality 550watt would still do,but the 650watt would be fine.Even a 1080 ti would have some headroom then. If you have the money just go 650watt,for efficiency doesn't it make any difference.
