Is every part in the build compatible? And also what is the highest HZ of ram my CPU and motherboard can run? I was thinking of getting 2600hz ram rather than 2113hz, please help me with that too. Also if there is any in-compatibility issues just please tell me what part it is, and what I should get, thank you. :)

And also as a person that is not very tech savvy, I know a bit about builiding PCs, but would it be hard if I were to build that by hand? Or should I just get a prebuilt PC?
Also will the Hard drive, SSD, and Cooler fit with the Case?

i've cahnges some things:
1. i've changed the ram to faster RAM, that runs in quad channel, so you can have more bandwidth.
2. i've changes the GPU to a faster (yet still 980 ti), and better looking GPU.
3. i've changed the PSU to a better one, that also fits the black and white theme better.
4. ive changed the case to a smaller one, as you dont need such a big case for this kind of build.

another thing you can do is change the CPU to the 5820k, but that has 28 lanes of PCIe comapred to 40 with the 5930k, so if you are going to double up on GPUs, or add other PCIe devices (like sound cards, raid cards, SSDs ect), keep the 5930k, but if you arent going to do this stuff, save yourself 200 dollars and get the 5820k.

hope this helped.

That whole system checks out fine apart from one thing, the PSU. That is way too much for what you need. The maximum you would need for that system is 750W, the minimum is 552W for that system, don't just take it from my word: http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/PSUEngine2

Also what would you be using this system for? Gaming, editing? Seems a tiny bit overkill. Still a good system but depending for what you actually need for it and what you plan to do with it in the future I would suggest maybe get the Nvidia GTX 970 instead and a lower PSU.

I'm guessing by the 144Hz monitor that you want to game at 1440p? If this is only for gaming at that resolution, and not for like editing or streaming or other CPU intensive stuff, then it's overkill, albeit still a good system.

Building a PC is not that hard. I've been looking heavily into it and personally, I feel pretty confident moving forward with my own build as soon as I am able to. There are tons of video guides and build logs that will tell how/why a piece goes where it does. I started by entering 'custom pc build' on YouTube and three months later and subscription to like a dozen channels, it all feels really familiar. I could probably list down the major steps right here from memory given the amount of content I went through to prepare myself. It's really not that hard.
