Also judging by the number of people showing interest in the A4 on auction sites, I'm sure you will find much success with your secund run!

All the reviews I have seen of the sf450 found it was capable of over 500 watts so it should be OK, although this may depend whether you will oc the CPU as well.
This statement feels over-conservative. As the temperature of the gpu inside the a4 sfx is generally going to be within a few degrees of that without a case, I expect gpus to overclock to a similar degrees as what reviewers with open air cases are getting.
Looks like the GB 1070 is available at a discount for those that are interested.

So I won't be the only one using a P8Z77I-Deluxe. Still waiting on something worth upgrading to at a decent price, as I only spend more money on essential parts of my rig, ie. case :p
I have gone through both and the fan on my sf600 turned on even at idle, although my room is relatively hot in summer and I am currently using the rvz02 case (until my a4 sfx arrives) so have no case fans. This was also the case with my sx500 lg. I have however yet to see the sf450 fan turn on...
Judging by the sff review I think your sf600 shouldn't have these problems. On the otherhand my sf600 acted like my previous sx500 lg, where it would turn on after a little while even when the PC is idle once it got a little warm and not turn off again. I thought it could be due to my room...
Sandybridge is over 5 years old and is what I might be using in the case until a decent upgrade is finally released.
On a side note, I hope Linus takes back what he said about open air GPU coolers in this case after testing out the EVGA card in the A4-SFX.
Can't say much about the rpm of the c7, but in this review it handled a 6700k at 1.25v quite well (see the temp chart as main review is about the c1), so at least a small oc should be possible.

Gpu wise, I think the...
Yes, that is what I am trying to point out. The commenters are coming to conclusions about the capabilities of the case while obviously doing 0 research, yet noone points out that this case cannot fit a 65mm cooler.
In the comments people are saying that the 1080 might not fit, but what will not fit is that cooler in the pic, unless he is planning a fanless build which I hope he is not. Dan was saying Linus sourced a C7 from cryorig so I'm not sure what is going on.
That doesn't look like a very high-end...
What GPU will he use? Would be good to see a oversized custom AIB 1080 to show what is possible in this case.
Edit: I hope he plans to put a slim fan on the that CPU heatsink. Would hate for it to overheat just for trying to create a silent build.
Updated OP to reflect info on the zotac 1060 mini. There will be a 3gb and 6gb version. Perhaps the 3gb version is what Nvidia was referring to when they mentioned a msrp of 250 USD...
