Need help building first PC

[Bwappo]

Ok, so I live in New Zealand (for currency reference) and have recently decided to build my own gaming PC (exciting, I know).

The thing is, there is so much depth in desktop building that I'm not sure where to start...but you guys are ;). I shall now give my preferences:

• Money: ~$1000 USD ($1500 NZD)
• Should run recent games (2016) at good quality, but I'm not sure what $1500 can get me lol.
• Doesn't need any fancy things like VR or 4/8K, because really, what's the point? (for me)
• Needs to be reliable, and run for awhile (1/2 a decade at least?) - but then again I can always upgrade
• One of my wishes as a child was to have a cool-looking desktop - so, not necessarily liquid cooling 'cool', but cool chassis and lighting 'cool'  (I like blue + white combo)
• But really, speed is most important (sacrifices can be made) - obviously, as this is a gaming pc, I prefer a good graphics card.

Thanks to all in advance, I hope I'm not restricting you guys too much, feel free to send what you wish!

What about the GPU?

Yes I forgot about the GPU, of course for $1500 you want THREE NVIDIA GTX-1080, just to post your new system on YouTube!

Then you can return it all and buy a $500 system.
