My real budget is $1500 including taxes and shipping, but would like some money to go to peripherals like a mechanical keyboard, but i can skip on the keyboard if there's a significant change. Please tell me your suggestions and opinions on my build. Feel free to change it to a maybe better build for the price? Yes the monitor is needed. OS is questionable.

If you want to go with the 1500$ budget go for this.

Wow great build, but kinda wanted an amd card for the $150 worth of free games lol, but then nvidia has all the physx, geforce experience things. How much faster is the 780 compared to the 280x?

Go with this 290 and OC if needed .
but it will max out all of the available games.
