For the most part that build, and that frame, look pretty decent already:
7005 Alu. frame, tapered headtube, full crabon fibre fork
SRAM Omniums
H+Son Archetypes on no-name hubs (formula or novatec?)
FSA bars (Vero Compact?) + stem (no idea)
Is there some performance aspect you want to improve?
No its the Trackster. Its a 4130 Chromo frame. For $350

Im trying to think of a way to phrase my question the way it is in my head.
Basically where would the cost start to out weigh performance in a $1000 build ($1000 not including the wheelset). In most things theres a point when your spending amounts that your not seeing any gain for because of other factors. In this case at what wheelset cost (in general terms for urban riding) would most wheelsets stop being any better because the other components (@ $1000 build) would not be able to show/notice an increase. The rest of the build being the limiting factor in seeing gains in performance in a more expensive wheelset.
