    You probably want to wait for the new X3D CPU to see what they offer in terms of pricing and performance. 
     
    If not, to meet the desired budget consider something like the following.

    the only thing i might do with that budget is allocate a small bit more to the gpu but then again most 30 series gpu's have the same oc rate. however you might be able to fit a 4070ti in there for a couple 100 dollars

    Seems fine with me just getting the H7.
     
    Though I could try to get some LTT edition Noctua fans
     
    Nah, I actually think I'm done thinking more about all the components. Now I just have to convince myself to buy it

    Norup got a reaction from Shahnewaz in I can finally upgrade!   
    Thanks for all the great replies! I'll be looking in to some of the stuff you said.
     
    @Shahnewaz It's correct that 1500 USD might be too much to spend on a rig that can both look cool and perform good and it's nice to see that you've taken that into consideration.
     
    @Josephdalepi I'm intrigued by your suggestion but I'm afraid that for now I'll have to agree with @Mikius10001 on some parts being overkill. But all in all both of the suggestions are good and I'll probably find something in-between.
     
    I won't be doing any overclocking though.
     
    But I'll be happy to keep you up-to-date with my decisions and I might even make another post when I think I'm done with the planning.

    Take your time with this purchase.  You can do much better when you assemble it yourself.  All you are doing is plugging things in and pushing the power button.  Building is easy.
     
    As far as warranties go, manufacturer warranties are normally better than having some crap shop's warranty.  Every time you send the PC in, it will cost them money.  You can bet your ass the guy troubleshooting your problem will be some low wage employee.  They will do the bare minimum to diagnose your issue and even send it back without really fixing anything.  Now you have to send it back again, and each time they do this they will try to get more cash out of you.
     
    $1500 is a lot of money:

    This is ultimately your PC.  Building it can be a learning process.  Don't deny yourself the chance to learn something new and save money while doing it.

    I would go for an I5 and a better GPU, but those are solid parts. 
     
    It depends on what you are doing?
     
    Only thing I would change is a new PSU, those have been known to catch fire. (Better safe than sorry)

    I'd go with the i5 of that processor, and then use the extra money from that towards a 980. You'd also probably be better off with a 250~500GB SSD and then getting a 1+ TB Western Digital Black HDD for storage. Also, your RAM is pretty overkill. You'll save a lot of money there.
     
    MY SUGGESTION:
    - Intel Core i5-6600K Skylake
    - Corsair Hydro H100i GTX High Performance
    - MSI Z170A Gaming M7
    - G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-2400 2x8GB
    - Nvidia GTX 980
    - Samsung 850 EVO SS - 500GB
    - Western Digital Black 1TB
    - Corsair RM750i


    Anything in bold is what I changed. Most are pretty minor changes, but will make an impact on price/performance. It should be slightly cheaper while being slightly better overall.

    if you are not going to be overclocking, get a 6700/ i5 6600 (if for gaming) and a hyper 212 instead of the Corsair cooler. 
     
    That mobo is also pretty expensive, you could go with something like: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z170agamingm3 it will do just fine I believe.
     
    The Ram you chose is too overkill, and you pay a lot for it 2400mhz is fine.
     
    We have no idea where you live or how much your budget is, or what your workload consists of. If you could update with that I'm sure everyone here could be much more helpful.

    Also, if you're getting a Z170 board please, please, please don't a K series Skylake CPU.  You can OC a NON K series SKYLAKE CPU with a Z170 board through the BCLK because the BCLK isn't tied to the PCIE slot.

    I would first define 'casual gaming'
     
    The 6700k gtx980 builds being displayed here aren't what I would consider "casual gaming" 
     
    Also, letting people know what your budget is helps a lot.
