Building my first PC ever!! possible parts included--->

[ginobli2016]

Hello Anandtech. It's my first post here and it's an important and monumental one for me, as I am building my first PC. I am fairly learned in the basics. I am excited because I am starting courses for my first 3 IT certifications soon, and I am lucky to have that going hand in hand with my first built PC. My questions are pretty simple, and I am definitely for saving money. I am not a hardcore gamer at all, but I do enjoy an occasional Battlefield 4 here or there. That's how I weighed my decision for the GTX 960. The intel i5 6500k has the future proof thing going for it, so that's why I settled on that. The Gskill brand has a lot of hype now, so I decided to select the 16gb ram, as the price differentials were minimal. The Gigabyte motherboard had seemingly similar techincal specs to the G1 Gaming Series and it was 75 dollars cheaper. The power supply I chose based on reviews and such.

If anyone has suggestions for me and can help me with finding a good case and school me on how to keep my system cool and quiet.
I would so greatly appreciate it!
