What is your budget for just the PC? It would help so we could modify your build and help you choose a power supply.

EVGA SuperNova PSUs are known to be very good. 

Linus got loads of installation guides!

 

Anyhow, your list is looking good, but you could tweak it a little. Since you are going to have a discrete GPU, you can save a lot of money  - or get more performance - by getting a Xeon intead of the i5. All you trade is the iGPU on the CPU.

This will give you the performance of an i7 at the cost of an i5.

I highly recommend the PSU. EVGA makes some quality shizz.

I don't see the logic in adding another 390x. Overall good build, but would still recommend the Xeon over the i5.

Crossfire? Why not go with a GTX 980ti and another one later? and I think you save like $100 going with a GTX 980ti

WOW. I seriously didn't even notice it put two video cards in there lol.

 

Scratch one of those lol. I just selected that one because that's what OP wanted.

Depends on the games you play, but most will value single threaded performance over multi threaded; I'd go 6th gen i5 k sku over xeon (but i7 over i5 :)). 

If you make a post contradicting mine that doesn't directly address my claims, or cites 'facts' without evidence, I'm probably not going to bother responding to it, because you probably didn't bother reading my post properly, and because life is too short. It doesn't mean I don't have an answer for you. It means I'm not dignifying you with a response.

So 1 more things ..

 

How can i assemble all the parts?

 

All i know is put the storage and ram though

Watch a build guide on LTT. That's what I did. I learned how to build my $700 pc watching them build a $10,000 PC lol.

I assumed the $1500-$1600 was the whole build, and targeted $1500. Skylake is good, though is was one of the sacrifices to hit budget. A skylake build would be very good too.

Thx DaltonM 4 the tips ? .. i maybe watch later though coz im not sleep yet..in my country 6.00 right now ..

Here's a build for your consideration when you wake up:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BvYw99

All you have to pick is the GPU. Keep in mind I chose an mATX board, so limited SLI/Xfire support, but allows you to get a smaller case (that your PSU probably wont fit in) but for just under $50 more you can get the ATX version. 

EDIT: If you can swing it, upgrade to the i7-6700k
