Track Build Help

I've been riding fixed for a little over a year now and I'm coming into a decent amount of money so I'm planning on putting together a build to satisfy my N+1 itch. The main focus of the build is to have a decent track bike for me to start get my feet wet riding and racing on the velodrome. I also plan on riding it and training occasionally on the road for when I don't want to ride my current bike, which is a beater. I have a budget of between $1,500-2,000 but would like to keep it on the lower end of that. I do not wan to go with a complete so I can spread the financial load out over the next 6 months and end up with something personal to me. I would appreciate some input on the components and the overall build. As far as the frame is concerned I don't care about the material but want it to be a suitable track frame and my budget for it is $500 so I can allocate more money to other components. Thanks for the help and input!

Factory Five F550 raw - $300

All City Big Block - $500
