$1000 to $1500 build. Looking for advice.

Budget is in the title, looking for some feedback on what I've put together so far. I'd like to consider any Black Friday sales that may be going on.

my only suggestion would be to shop around for cheaper prices.

You have an unlocked CPU with a locked motherboard. Your PSU is also very overpriced, when you can get an EVGA G2 750W at about the same price.

Do this for your build:

Drop the Nepton 240M for a Hyper 212 EVO if you're not looking into serious overclocking.

The ASUS Z97-A is a well regarded motherboard.
