Hello - This will be my second build, but my first over 500 dollars. I am currently on a very old gaming PC which was build by a friend years and years ago.
I am looking to spend less than $2000 however would prefer to be closer to the $1500 range. I've selected the parts in which I believe should work well together. My main concern is stability, while my main goal is being able to play current gen games at high to max settings. Some examples would be Thief, Star Citizen, Assassins Creed Black Flag, Elder Scrolls Online, etc.
This list of components can be found here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2NpJJ
Regarding the modded Corsair 750d case - I have serious concerns about keeping things cool. Although my goal is the ideal temperatures I don't there should be any issues with trying for better airflow and therefore cooler pastures.
The stock case looks like:

I'm going to be modding it to look like:

Specifically I looking for feedback regarding any upgrades or downgrades to the components that would make a difference in stability, or the ability to play those games.
I would also likely add some additional case fans but am not sure if they will be necessary. Thoughts?
Thank you in advance for your time, suggestions and feedback.
