I was thinking about building a $1500 USD gaming build. I live in Colorado and I wanted to build a somewhat future proofed gaming build. I plan to play PUBG, Fortnite, COD, etc. at 1080p 60fps on one monitor at high to ultra settings, and plan to upgrade to a 4k monitor in the near future.  

The build I had in mind is: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jHDNKZ

If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

For future proofing I definitely wouldnt go itx and especially not with that case.

the B3 has issues with overpower protection, avoid it and get a CX450M instead.

Thanks for the suggestions here's the updated build (I want to stick to ITX because I'm a little tight on space.)

A 1080 seems a little overkill for 1080p 60fps, but since PUBG is really bad optimized It's not a bad choice. If you really want to build something future proofed, I'll sugest going for Ryzen.  AM4 is going to be supported up to 2020. With Ryzen 5 1600 you could save some bucks on Mobo platform, CPU Cooler and CPU itself without risking a resonable amount of perfomance and guarantee your mother board's logevity.
