Here's the improved version.
-Last gen CPU
-Last gen motherboard
-Dual channel RAM, it's faster this way, even though it's clocked lower.

Looks like a good well-rounded build to me. That GPU and CPU should do BF1 at 1080p 60Hz just fine at around High settings i believe. My only suggestion would be spend a bit more to get a B150/B250 Motherboard with 4 RAM slots and get a 2x4GB (8GB total) RAM kit as they perform much better than single DIMMs and you still have the 2 extra slots to upgrade to 16BGB later. This should only cost you another ~$20 i imagine don't need anything fancy just make sure it has 4 RAM slots. Hope this helps :)

*Edit* I added a B150 Board in this list for you not much more + 2x4GB RAM Kit > https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mt6zjc

It's a very nice motherboard here is the actual website for it > https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B150M-BAZOOKA-PLUS.html#hero-overview
