I made the build by referencing parts suggested by people I know. I want to play current and upcoming games with High quality. I'll be playing Overwatch, League of Legends, Destiny 2, Battlefield 1, and Tekken 7. I wanted my build to be around 1100-1200. Do I need to upgrade/downgrade anything? I also plan on having a dual monitor set up at some point after the build is complete. I am prepared to buy parts in early August.

850W PSU is massive overkill. This could run your build with 2 GTX1080s.
The 550W version of this PSU is fine.

Depending on the price I'd go with slightly faster Ram (2666-3000MHz) unless it's much more expensive.

You'll definitely should aim for a better cooler, like a Scythe Mugen or a Cryorig H5

Then again, you can build it cheaper and get simialr performance if you go Ryzen.
