Like WildCard said, go for the 1070. Seasonic is one of the much better PSU brands out there, so I would trust them.

OR if you go with Ryzen:

You get a 1080 instead of 1070.

It is the cheapest decent case from mwave that allows the rest of the components to fit in the budget.

Fractal Design is a reputed manufacturer of cases anyhow, it is bound to be decent.
 


It is a decent case. Cases depend on tastes and preferences of the user, so if you feel it is better and looks better and is within budget, please do go ahead. That said, the Design G is still quite good, so keep it as a factor when you choose your case.
