Hi tamzzy,

Thanks for this, all looks good and I can probably make do with my old monitor for a couple of months and put a few more pennies away!

I really appreciate all your help on this.

monitor out of stock at ocuk. can be had elsewhere in stock and cheaper with a quick google
(brings the price down closer to £1600)
best bang-for-buck components in its price range, but if speccing to a budget of £1500, cuts can be made of course

Would this build be OK with the AvP Mamba Mid Tower Black Case?

Yes, but that's an ugly case with little to no ventilation. Components will cook inside that case. Espesh with an 8700k and 1070ti

How about the Aerocool CS1101 Black Mini Tower Micro ATX?

Not much better. Just look at the internal layout. Don't skimp on the case (too much)
