Planning my first build

I'm looking to build my first pc for gaming of all kind from Far cry to minecraft. I'm in the USA i have a budget of about $5,000 i plan on having at most 3 monitors but will only start out with one to have more for the parts for the pc. The monitors i plan on having will have a resolution of 2560 x 1440. I plan on using the Thermaltake Tower 900 Black Tempered Glass Fully Modular E-ATX Vertical Super Tower for my case if you could suggest on parts i should use would be very helpful

The case is going to look a bit bare since it won't have a custom cooling loop. 

 

All RGB components are Aura Sync compatible and can be synchronized through the motherboard. This includes the keyboard and mouse. The two fans are for the top exhaust mounts. The 4TB hdd is there just for media and archives. Pretty much everything else can be stored on the 2TB NVMe M.2 drive.

Tank you both for the suggestions i plan on a later day after the main build to but in a custom cooling loop but i just wanted to get it built first to keep down on the cost then save up more for the cooling system but over all they both look like amazing builds once i get all the parts and get it together ill make sure to post about it when its done

Glad to see that a custom loop is an eventual goal.
