Maxed out 1080p School/Work/Gaming Rig: Is this bad, good, overkill etc.?

[pureGold]

Dear LTT Forums, 

I am planning to build a computer because I am tired of gaming on the crappy laptop I have now. The computer I'm building will serve me for basically everything which means watching videos, programming for school/work/home projects, and gaming. For games, I just want to be able to max out settings in games such as League, CS GO, some AAA titles like BF1/Rainbow Six Siege at 1080p. The build I am going to list below also includes monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Could you guys help me out in either improving the build? (Saving money, upgrading/degrading a part, etc). My budget is $1500 USD or less. In addition, I am looking to add a second monitor of the same model in the future.

It's ok. Not really bad but not good either

With that extra money you have to hit $1500 I would try to upgrade to a 7600k which is only like $20 more and get a Z MoBo.

I am not looking to overclocking but I will take this into consideration!

I would like to buy the parts on newegg/Amazon so that the parts can all come on one day instead of waiting for the other parts from all different sorts of vendors.
