I just went on pcpartpicker.com and found these parts. They are compatible but is there better choices on all the parts I picked. This will be my first build and I am so nervous that $1500.00 is going to go down the drain. I already purchased a Dell Gsync monitor and a Razer Keyboard and mouse.
I have been reading for months and found out some things that could make a new build easier like getting a full tower case for room, and to make sure you get enough fan headers on the motherboard. Do I go with the Intel Skylake I7 OR i5 CPU for gaming. I don't want to mess with overclocking at this time but maybe in the future.

Please let me know if I am going to need something like some kind of splitter or fan controller or hub or a wire extension to reach somewhere. I wish I could get the price down to $1500.00
The case and the CPU Cooler are the only 2 parts I thing I could change. The I5 CPU does not come with a cooler. Would a air cooler be better? I really love that case but at $180.00 I'M not sure. I MUST have a easy cable management case. I am nervous of the front panel header connectors especially.

Thanks so much for your help.

To cut down price, agree on cheap air for reasonable overclock later. Cryorig H7 or 212 Evo would work.

To get a built in fan controller, four fans, and no need to connect 3 of them to the mobo, have a look at the Corsair 500r. Should save $80 there, still big, has cable management, and both drive cages are removable (I velcro'd the ssd to the lower optical bay).

Sabertooth is expensive. A ~$150 mobo will serve just as well including a decent overclock. Look at the Asus Z170A.

A 500w-ish psu is plenty unless you are going to sli. Seasonic M12ii is good and would shave off $30+ dollars.

If just gaming, and not an installed game hoarder, could drop the hdd completely and just go with a 500gb ssd.
The H100i is a loud cooler. I'd rather go with an air cooler than is cheaper and gets the job done. Plus a full size tower is pointless. I'd maybe save money on a cheaper tower, a cheaper cooler, you could even change the PSU to a 550W unit, perfectly fine, even for overclocking, and maybe just 1TB of storage on a cheaper HDD to save some money? Then perhaps a GTX 1080?
