Games I plan to run: I am looking to play games like Skyrim, minecraft, league of legends,warframe, crusader kings 2, europa univesalis 2, deus ex:game of the year edition, divinity: original sin, farcry 3, god eater 2 rage burst, life is feudal, lord of the rings online, middle earth:shadow of mordor, space engineers, total war:warhammer, vindictus, sid meier's civilization 5, stellaris, endless legend, the sims 3, starbound, stronghold 3, torchlight 2, tropico 5, wargame:red dragon, warhammer 40k dawn of war and the Witcher 3
Additional Comments: I am an avid gamer and play a variety of games. I do not need to run them at ultra or high quality. I usually keep everything at medium quality. I am looking for something that will run smoothly and fairly silently at medium quality. I am worried about cooling in this system. I'm looking to probably keep it around 60-75F. I often play for hours on end. Anywhere from 3-10h a day. I'm probably gaming for most of that time. There's maybe an hour or 2 there when i go cook something to eat or have a shower but the computer will still be on. Do I need more case fans? Is the cpu fan necessary for the cpu and if so is it sufficient for my cpu? Do I need a thermal compound on my cpu? I have gone with a single 500gb ssd as i don't want to spend to much money on it and i believe 500gb will be enough for me. I am also not sure if this stuff will actually fit together and is compatible.

Budget Range: $1500-$1800 The prices I have used are from Dec/2/2016.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming is the most important thing to me here. I play a fair amount of multiplayer games as well and require a fast and stable internet connection. I'd like to be able to run a game and have 3 tabs or so open or maybe a download in the background with no problem. For everything else adequate will do.
Parts Not Required: Don't need a a mouse, keyboard, or monitor as I already have those. I'm not upgrading. I simply have a bunch of old stuff from my parents that I plugged in to a laptop which I am currently using.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: [http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/] and http://www.memoryexpress.com/ I have been using these sites to configure my build.
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: I would like to use the Intel Core™ i5-6600K Processor, 3.50GHz w/ 6MB

Overclocking: I do not plan to overclock.
SLI or Crossfire: No. I am planning to use only 1 video card.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
