Looks good to me. I'd say up that power supply to 850W on the same model, if possible, just to handle any future upgrades and to leave a bit more headroom.
Also, could swap out that beQuiet! CPU cooler for either an AIO liquid cooler or something like a Thermalright Peerless Assassin or Noctua NH-D15 for better thermals and lower noise levels.

The case is out of stock. Are there any other cases you'd recommend that would still work with this build?

I'd go with something like a Fractal Torrent if you have absolutely no plans to add more GPUs in the future.
