Did you read Big Sean's thread?
https://www.bikeforums.net/33-road-bike-racing/491594-new-race-bike-ordered.html
seems like there might be some good advice/links in there.
Nice result with the Ultegra BTW. Sounds like you should be able to build a superb bike for your budget.

If it was me I would buy a complete bike from specialized and either sell your free group or strip the group from the complete bike and sell that. That would be the most cost effective way to go about doing things.
