OP: I see a Microcenter and Fry's locations near you. Those options are available to you, yes?
 
You're asking for build help too soon. Come back when you're within' a week of buying everything you need. The reason is because prices fluctuate so often that what is considered a good deal today probably wont be a good deal tomorrow. Additionally, Skylake was just released and while they're still in short supply new motherboards will start showing up. So you'll have more to choose from around the time you're actually ready to buy.

Just bump this thread when you're ready.
