Sadly I don't, although I'm sure a local PC shop in your area will assemble it for you, of course if you have any doubts I'm also pretty sure they will allow you to supervise their work on assembling it.

Assembly should also be reasonably cheap.

For fun : i7 6800K is more expensive ( and newer ) but a little faster than i7 5820K
CPU benchmarks
http://cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
i7 5820K - around 13000 points Pass Mark
i7 6700K around 11000 points Pass Mark

For gaming benchmarks , might type i7 6700K vs i7 5820K gaming on Youtube

As for a monitor : GTX 1080 deserves 4K screen . IPS vs high refresh rate , You decide !
The Dell i included is not very power efficient -95W !

Edit:

i changed the monitor ! Now Asus 4K IPS - 60W

another 4K but no IPS ,60Hz , 39W

I'll look into, thanks. :)

But the i7-6700K ties to the Z170, and the i7-5820K ties to the X99? I thought the X99 was better from what I've heard, or can I mix and match?

That s right , i7 5820K and i7 6700K are of different socket .

That Asus Rog is fine , just no IPS but it s not so important , just preference . Only to note , Asus Rog here is 2K

the Acer in the thread is good too

What about a curved ultra-wide monitor? They look really nice too. They're a bit pricy, but just gorgeous.

if you dont have 2 left hands you will be able to put it together or maybe get a friend who has little bit moar knowledge.
there are lot of how to videos with step by step guides.
and if you got troubles later on you know where to look and repair it for yourself-its not rocket science and in this forum there is always someone willing to help.

if you want your system to last for 5+ years maybe its good to go with six cores \5820k
but with both you will not have probs in future.
only advantage of 6700k is if the graphiccard goes wild then you can use your integrated one.

45FPS is not bad !

If you build a high-end system you want your games at 60fps.

At OP, I'd say if you want a GTX1080, go with a nice 1440p monitor.

Should I go for 4K then? And could I still work it into my budget without compromising performance/quality?

If you really want to go 4K and if you can wait, wait for the GTX1080Ti.

Why not the new Define R5 ?
This was the goal - high performance along with low power draw thus no heat issues
