[Build READY] No graphics card until November but I'm going to order everything else in less than a month. 700$ i5 Gaming rig, any thoughts?

So many games coming this fall and winter! I have an xbox one (as a gift from my dad; I'm 26 but we still get along pretty well) but besides Halo 5 and Forza 6, I want the rest of my games with at least 2K resolutions. I had an i5 2500k + Gtx 580 rig a little while ago and I used to go HAM for BF3 and Crysis 2. Unfortunately, I had some debts to resolve so I had to make a sacrifice: sold it to a friend for 500$. Now I'm finally able to save up money for a computer again and I feel it's the right time because 6th generation Skylake i5 cpus don't convince me enough for the wait. So! I just want to make sure I'm getting the best parts for the money I've saved. I'm not getting two cards, just one. I'm saving another 700$ for a Fury X OC or a 980ti around November, maybe find a steal on newegg btw bless that website and pcpartpicker.com! haha I didn't have a clue on how to build PC's before a friend pointed me out Reddit for the 1st time and this incredible subreddit /r/buildapc ! I think a lot of people take this subreddit and what it gives for granted but to me it brings fond memories of me building a 3D gaming pc as my first build...turned on with the 1st try...beautiful! Anyway! I have 700$ so far that I'm planning to use for these parts. I actually like the Thermaltake PSU I've chosen and I've had semi-modulars before. I also don't want to spend more than 150 on a motherboard. However, I'd appreciate any input on making this part list better without going over 720$. Thanks!
