that video card is not overboard for 1080p high/ultra settings. Will not run the most graphically demanding games on ultra, why not just build the thing right?

There's tons of cards that will run 1080 @ High/Ultra for half the price. Remember, he's not asking about the most graphically demanding games @ their highest resolutions. He's asking about a budget friendly rig that will play MMO's/MOBA's. And he's acknowleding that he'll be doing upgrades as he moves along.
He asked for a $500-$600 build, and you gave him one that rings in at nearly $800, and that doesn't even include an OS.
It's like when my customers call me looking to buy performance parts for their classic Ford. In order to give my customer the best service/product, we determine the best Cost/Performance ratio, and listen to what the customer will actually do with the car, vs what he thinks he needs/will do with the car.
Sometimes a customer will call me thinking that he needs to invest in a $3,000 14", 6-Piston brake kit while running a skimpy brake Master Cylinder, when the performance he's looking for can be had with a 12" 4-piston kit and a better Brake booster/master combo, and it'll end up costing him less. We may not make as much money, but the customer will walk away with the results he wanted and he'll be appreciative of the support and information.
That's how i view it at least....
