Please tell me if these parts are compatible for a gaming build

[Nathan_81]

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.

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?

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.
