This is overkill. He should at least have a 780ti at that budget.

He wanted future upgrades and at 1080p 780ti doesnt make much sense.

What I mean is I would reduce the costs in the peripherals of the build and put it towards stronger components. Take the Maximus VI for example, sure it looks cool, but a AsRock Extreme 4 would do the job and it's $100 less.

Yeah it does - a future upgrade on a build like this would be the monitor. Move to 1440P or 2560 x 1080 ultra wide. No need to include all the extra crap and the good peripherals can always come later.

This is what I would do:
