Good frame to start off with, Cotics ride very well. I would go 100mm to 120mm for the forks; Rebas are a good shout, or Rockshox SID.
I'd go 1x10, I find it wears better than 1x11. Also wouldn't bother with a boat anchor cassette, unless you're planning on riding up mountains. A 32 or 34t is fine.
