I'm planning on making my first custom build PC within the monthand half-two months. I've never done it before I'm not sure how comptaible all my parts are but I think these all work well together. My budget limit is around 1500$.

I know I'm missing a case I'm don't know yet what a good one would be. Also I think the motherboard I picked has onboard audio sound isn't a major issue for me so I might remove the sound card from the build. Could any of these parts be swapped for better ones at similar price?
Also I found a site ibuypower.com I configured a similar build there for around 1200$. However I've heard some say that the quality of the builds are not good or the parts are cheap. What I'm looking for is a quality build that will last me for many years. However, since I've never built a myself, I'm not sure how well I can do it myself. If ibuypower is reliable, should I buy from them to ensure the computer is of sound qaulity, or should I order the separate parts and take caution is building it myself? Which is the better the option for me? Thanks for any helpful replies.
