If you're just gaming, you could step back to the i5 6600K, as the i7 doesnt offer a big increase in performance when gaming over the i5.

If more performance per dollar is what you're after, I would recommend choosing another case. $160 for a case is a little high if youre trying to keep the price of your rig down.

Here's a filter for white cases on Newegg. I'm sure you could save a little there.

Are you sure you need all 16 GB of RAM? I personally use 16 GB of RAM becasue i know i will use all 16 once in a while.
Additionally, you are going for a high end case and there are great quality cases that are cheaper.
For non overclockable CPU's there is no reason to go for a more expensive motherboard. The Pro4 is a good quality motherboard that will do great with your build.
The PSU is an overkill and you are better of getting a quality unit.

If it's primarily for gaming, you don't need the i7, the i5 will perform just as well. Changed the mobo to a Z170 should you ever decide you want to overclock. Added a higher quality PSU also.

If this build is for rendering/editing or heavy multitasking, then what you have selected would be more appropriate
