Here's a sample of my build:

Processor: Intel Core i5-6500 (is this overclock-able at some point?)
Motherboard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
GPU: MSI R9 390
RAM: GSKILL RIPJAWSV 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4-2400 Mhz
HDD: Seagate 2TB 7200rpm
PSU: I need some recommendations on this one because there are huge varieties of PSU's out there and I'm not sure which is best. (A fully modular PSU would be great for cable management)
Chassis: Any great towers that is budget friendly but with great design?
CPU Cooler: the i5-6500 skylake has its own stock cooler right? would it be best if I buy an aftermarket cooler?

If you guys have any ideas on how to improve the above specs, please share it to me. I'm planning to buy my first system on December. Considering that some of these components will have their price drops. *hopefully*

This build will play any modern game at 1080P in ultra detail with no problems, for years to come.

As for the PSU, you want to get a good 550w or better PSU such as the EVGA 550G2, Seasonic S12G 620, Seasonic G Series 650, XFX TS 650 G

Not overclockable, and so the only reason to buy an aftermarket cooler is if you want it quieter.

If you want an Overclock you need an i5-6600k

Technically you can't overclock a non-K Intel CPU. There might be the possibility of overclocking via the base clock, but this isn't really the accepted method to overclock an Intel CPU. It also depends on whether the motherboard has a separate clock for the other buses. Traditionally there is one clock (base clock @ 100MHz) that all the other buses are synced (created with) with. The PCI-E bus as well as the DMI bus is synced to the base clock. These two buses are very sensitive to variations in the base clock. Some motherboards have a separate clock generator for the base clock and the clock for the other buses. In this case if you can separate the base clock from the rest of the system, then a base clock overclock may be viable.
 
@Rogue Leader i didnt mean to downvote your answer. Had a lagging problem in my device. Im sorry. Thanks for your suggestions/idea. How about some Chassis that is budget friendly? :)
