Critique my first time PC build?

[BrahmaCHICKEN]

Hi all,

I am working on a first time PC build and I'm looking for some feedback. I'd like to be able to play modern games at 1080p on Ultra settings. I'll be using the rig for typical stuff like music and the like as well.

My budget is $1200-1500, so I'm right at the edge of my budget with this current build.

I'd appreciate any feedback on all aspects of the build. Thanks!

with the headroom, go for a gtx1070 competitor from AMD Vega next month.

^ we're on the same level, for some reason I read $1300 max budget , went out of my way doing that so I may as well post it anyway.

Yeah, $1500 is my max budget. I should've been more clear. I really appreciate the replies.

As far as AMD Vega goes, do you think it's worth it to wait until those cards drop? I did a bit of reading and apparently it won't be until later this summer. And of course they've had some good showings for the card already, but we haven't seen any comparisons with Nvidia stuff yet. Thoughts on that? Will it even make a difference to wait? The price point for the flagship gaming card is also above the 1070 as well.

the main reason being free sync monitors r cheaper than g sync. and yes, Vega seems promising. so it would be worth the wait.
