That CPU will not be a bottle neck for sometime. And a 550 watt(bronze certified) PSU will be about the minimum youd want to get if youre not going SLI or overclocking. As far as cases go, just go with the one that is big enough for what you need and fits your stylistic preferences.

the I5-4460 will bottleneck the 1070 in games that are able to use all 4 cores of the i5 but it doesn't mean you will get a bad experience, with those 2 as your CPU and GPU there wont be a game that is currently on the market you wont be able to run on ultra 60+fps at 1080p so don't worry about it, as for part recommendations see below.
