It looks sketchy for a build this good.

Get an X370 board and better SSD. This is pretty much useless though, prices will change and new components might release in the next couple of months so what makes sense to buy now, might not when you buy in 3 months. Also, what monitor(s) are you using?

Don't buy a GTX 1080 then.
