dont buy that gpu yet.Switch to a newer platfrom like RYZEN.Much more recent,more upgradability,better performance and overall better value.GTX 1070 is more that enough to handle 1080p 120Hz gaming.
What is your budget?

This system is good for now. Just do a full rebuild in a year or two. The 1070 is very capable.
