Solution
One suggestion would be to lower your i7 down to say something like a i5 6600k and put that extra money into your gpu for something like a gtx 980. Unless you are streaming or running intense cpu based programs then you do not need a i7 and that i5 will be able to do pretty much everything the i7 can for cheaper. Other wise it is a very nice build that should be able to run all games on ultra settings.
