based on your theme, i recommend Dark Rock 3 if you wanna use air cooler

or H100i GTX or kraken X61 if you wanna water cool (though im not sure if the front supports rad, the nzxt website is so unclear)

id like to keep it as close to $1500 as possible. 

 

any good recommendations for a case?

That S340 is really nice imo. Cases are mainly personal preference so we can't really choose for you.

As for the cooler, Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo if on air or if you want to go down the water route, I would suggest the Cooler Master Nepton 240M, I have one and it cools my CPU to about 30 degrees at idle as well as being super quiet

if you dont plan to overclocking as much then it is a good cpu cooler

first thing's first: go for a WD hard drive, better fail rate over the seagate one.

 

also thought, why not get yourself a RGB keyboard or mouse so you can have matching colors? (Or both RGB so they can be red.)
