I've taken feedback from my previous post and done some research to come up with my final PC build. You can check it out here: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/G4yP4p. I'm looking for any advice or insights on whether this build is solid or if I should make some changes before purchasing.

What’s the total cost of your build?
Make sure to put your build on pcpartpicker.com and update your post with the link; it makes it easier for others to help you out. If you’re in the US, consider spending a bit more on a 9600X from Amazon for better performance. Also, the Thermalright Phantom Spirit cooler is a great value.
Here’s what I think is the best build for $1050: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q4Xrkf. You could spend a bit more for a better CPU or motherboard, but it's not a must. Let me know if you want me to explain why I chose each part!
I think you need to upgrade your SSD. The NV2 isn’t the best choice; look for a TLC drive like the SN580 or SN770 instead. Other than that, your build seems pretty solid! You might also want to see if you can save a bit on some parts.
It’s about $1200.
