I am looking to make my first PC and want to know if this is a good one I have a hard budget of 1500 US and want to know what I can do I also would like it to be easily upgraded later. PS I am going to use it for gaming at 1080p, school work, lots of programming and possible streaming later on.

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($96.99 @ Jet) 

I would just go for an air cooler (hyper evo 212 for $30) and put the saved money towards a 6700k. With the possibility of streaming and coding/programing the hyperthreading will come in handy, even for some CPU intensive games.

Yeah, no need to get a beefy CPU cooler, get a Cryorig H7 as a nice air cooler and spend the extra $ on an RX 480 or GTX 1060.

Yeah, not bad. Personally I'm not a fan of that case but it will do. Keep in mind that the GPU you chose is a blower style card which takes in air through the fan and exhausts out the back (near the I/O ports). Shouldn't be a problem in that case, however.

 

Have you considered going with a full ATX tower?

Unless you have a fan splitter(s), your Mobo only has support for two case fans.
