I would pick Ryzen 1700x over a 6800k. With Ryzen's release, and performance results, that I have seen so far, I see no good reason to go with X99, unless you need 128gb ram, or need one of those high dollar/high core count Xeons. 99% of people considering X99, I feel would be better spending their money on Ryzen.

1| I'd suggest staying away from Razer peripherals since I've had some bad encounters with their QC. I'd say you'd be fine with Corsair or Kingston peripherals.
2| I'd suggest sticking with Seasonic unit's if possible.
3| Might I ask why you two different types of NMVe storage?
4| If I were you I'd go with Asus's Strix range of motherboard's and to that note, go for an matx or mitx build, but that's my opinion.
5| With all that expensive hardware in your list, you only are working with 8GB's of ram? You should be looking at 16GB's of DDR4 - 3200/3600MHz as a standard.
6| The Astro is USB driven. I'd suggest the HyperX Cloud I if I were you for taking advantage of the onboard Realtek S1120 codec(if you went with the Asus range).

Pretty good, just a few notes:
1) Get 16gb of ram and at least get DDR4-2400 as kabylake directly supports that speed and it really does not cost anything over 2133
2) Ditch the PCI-E SSD, you can get a 1TB SATA SSD for cheaper. Yes SATA is slower but the only reason that would matter is if doing lots of transfers between the 2 SSDs (at which point would ask why are you reducing lifespan like that)
3) 850w is massive overkill for any build not running 2 high powered graphics card. A G2 or P2 650w power supply will be plenty for a single card.

I would say overspending in areas that are not going to affect system performance is a bad idea. Also might want to see how Ryzen plays out. Reviews should be out in force tomorrow. Even if you were to stick with Intel, you could bump up to an X99 rig, for that kind of money.
