Are you sure you need those extra case fans. Most stock case fan configurations work just fine and the hardware you selected won't generate a ton of heat. Also, at this point I would jump on the skylake train because it's a newer platform and pretty much the same price.

Skylake would be better for gaming? If so, how?
(sorry, new to all this computer stuff)

Simply put, it's faster in every respect.
