This is my first ever building a pic I really want to get into the pc gaming community so I was wondering if this is a good pc gaming build, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/, my budget is around $1500 because I still need to buy monitors keyboard mouse and other stuff!
Is this a good gaming pc build?

I have that same mobo processor combo. On that cooler I've gotten about 4.5gz stable but that will vary chip to chip. That's not a complete build, you need ddr3 ram, a graphics card, case, psu, and some form of storage.

Also, I'd recommend going with a z97 mobo for the 4690k as you won't have to worry about getting a mobo with an older bios and updating. The z97 is just easier.

Here's a part list that should be a good base, a good bit of part selection is persona preference.

Horry shet! That's a overkill processor for gaming imo, why not go for a core i5 6600k and upgrade your graphic card ?
and also go for a DDR4 3k memory

change that i7 to an i5, save $100. Upgrade the graphics card with the savings. You can get a pretty badass setup for $1500 with periferals. A 1070 and a sky lake i5 are within reach at that price point. Not sure why you switched to liquid cooling, for most applications a $40 heat sink fan cooler will compete with almost all aio water coolers. Unless you just can't stand the look of air cooling, add that money to your gpu budget.

Also, for some reason I had it in my head that you already had the z87 mobo. Sky lake is the way to go as the price difference is minimal when buying it all new.
what is imo sorry I'm just starting the whole of gaming thing don't know anything lol also what graphics card should I get? Also I'm using this of to game also do YouTube? So could you suggest the memory stick also the graphics card...needs to be around $1500

Imo means in my opinion, that's less computer talk and more milenial speak. Id say go for a 1070 if you can and really any ddr4 is fine, just try to get 16gb.

Dude, why do you want to go with a lower clocked memory module when you can buy a memory with a higher clock? Just don't always go for the looks if you really want good performance. Just having a rig with awesome colors ain't going to do any better for your performance.
Anyway, i tweaked it according to your preference and here's the list : http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ym7skT
