I initially built Austin Evan's Photon build part for part (really wanted to get an entry level PC to start PC gaming, hitting Ultra settings on BS: Infinite convinced me, plus originally intended to play TF2 for the most part) but now I'm looking to upgrade as I feel like I've outgrown it and it doesn't meet the benchmarks I'm looking for.

I did some research and came up with this setup: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/mjpHxY
Mainly looking for some feedback on some part selections.
Generally using it to game across Steam, Origin, and GOG as well as basic internet browsing, nothing more. Based on the parts outlined in the pcpartpicker link above; I'll only be changing the motherboard, CPU, video card, and CPU as well as purchasing a CPU cooler (from what I've heard the stock Intel coolers are terrible). Never really used a non-stock one, so is the one in the build okay?
I'm intending to use this build for gaming and would like to play games like EA Battlefront, Doom 2016, and the upcoming Battlefield 1 on High / Ultra settings at 1080p60fps as well as older games like Battlefront II and GOG games (AMD's Crimson driver update broke that game). I would also like to "futureproof" this build so I can play any upcoming triple A 2017 - 2018 game at High / Ultra settings 1080p60fps. Would this build also be futureproof in I could go over to 1440p if I decide to change my monitor?
Since I'm only upgrading certain parts / pieces, $500 - $600? Would definitely want to switch over to Intel.
I would prefer not having to change my case.
