Planning my first build and would appreciate feedback.

Hey guys, I'm working on a new build and would like to see if anyone can find areas of improvement in this build.

 

Some quick background: I'd like to buy this by the end of July, I live in the US, have a budget of 1500-ish (+- 200 at most but I'd like to keep it as close to 1500 as possible) and looking to go for a blue/black color scheme.

 

Intended for 3-D modeling (solidworks), multimedia(video and audio processing mostly), gaming, and research (tons of tabs, good amount of applications running at once).

 

I don't really know much about OC so I'm not looking to overclock anything anytime soon, but also don't want something that'll go obsolete anytime soon.

 

I appreciate the help.   

 

Edit: You guys have prompted me to do some research, thanks for the input.

Wait for 1070

 

Also, there are cheaper ways to buy windows...

yes kinguin has 10 pro for $20-30. Also it's a solid build but now that Skylake setups have dropped to roughly the same price you can go with that too. either one would be good though

Go skylake.  It's newer has support for DDR4 and costs the same.  Something like this:

Note I didn't put a video card as you should wait for 1070.

it would be the best if you gave us your budget which i assume is about 1500$ and tell us what you need, right?

Easily within the 1500 dollar budget...

I'd go something like this, not including the win10 key which you can get somewhere cheaper like kingpin/G2A:

For all that modelling and multitasking this is probably perfect.
