Are you people doing this on purpose, posting just when I'm away for 3 days?
Or is it just the weekend?

For TF2 and OW I don't think going above an i3 would do anything. That means I know it won't do anything for TF2 and I'm pretty sure OW is gpu bound, although I haven't tested it or seen any tests specifically testing that.
I don't really like mITX since those cases tend to be fairly cramped (this with more cables since your PSU is non-modular) so if you don't really need it (you had a full ATX tower before) I would stick to mATX. You're also really limited in terms of slots. Upgrade RAM? Both slots already full, need to replace your RAM and buy new one instead of just adding two more sticks. Want a soundcard? Not happening.
You're also cutting corners on the SSD.
What's your budget? Assuming 400$ I'd do something like this or even just keep the old case:

Well you can try buying the cards that will release in the first and second week of June now. Chances are however that no matter how close they are, you'll have to wait until then (unless you are capable of very limited time travel).
Generally even if they were released yet I wouldn't buy before I've seen reviews.
So you'll have to wait until the start of June, like I said you should.
I'm still missing some context though.
What are you going to be using it for?
Which 700W PSU?

-Only worth upgrading for rendering, don't expect any gains in TF2 (assuming the 3570K is overclocked).
-Which cooler?
-mATX ftw, I'm with you on that one.
-Looks pretty good actually.
-GPU doesn't matter for TF2
-Well for rendering you probably want 16GB. Beyond that it doesn't matter much.
-Yes, you need Z170 to overclock. Other than that if you don't know what it is you probably don't need it. Z170 in itself is high end, so even the cheapest Z170 mobo should have everything you'll need and then some more.
There's always some things you can optimize, but in your case not too much unless you're willing to wait for Kaby Lake (new CPUs). Even though the launches should start in Q3 2016 it'll take until Q2 2017 for everything to be released and it's rumoured that Desktop SKUs are some of the last to be released so I wouldn't hold my breath.
The Node 804 is pretty expensive for a mATX case, so there's definitely cheaper alternatives. It's also really wide, so if you want that it's great, but it's not exactly small form factor.
Other than that a cheaper mobo (sale ended-> +30$), some cheaper and faster RAM -> a bit over 50$ saved.

Depends on what you mean with "after summer". With your budget you're looking at Kaby Lake, which as mentioned above will start releasing in Q3 2016 but it might take until Q2 2017 for the Desktop parts. It might be worth waiting until August if you're not in a hurry, because by then we should know what will be released when. If the Desktop CPUs are planned for September you can wait, if they're planned for 2017 you still get to enjoy the new GPUs.
Other than that the usual preliminary question: Overclocking yes or no?

Don't recommend an i7-6700K and a Z170 mobo until you know they want to overclock. ;-)
