I'm curious as to that monitor choice. The response time is horrible, and it seems terribly overpriced for a basic 24" IPS panel. I'm not a monitor guru, so maybe there's something about it that I'm not seeing to justify that price tag?
Dell ultrasharp's a probably the highest rated picture quality monitors on the market today... nothing basic about it.
My attempt at a build:

Includes an ultrawide monitor, so it's noticeably wider than a normal monitor, which is really nice for multitasking (software dev), and also cool for gaming. Built around the 7700k and 1080, will give you good gaming performance. Up your budget another $250 and you can swap out for the 1080 ti.
