Also Youtube has lots of guides on it. If you really want to build it yourself, take your time learning how to do it right.
I also recommend starting with an old $10 machine from a garage sale or thrift store, taking it apart and putting it back together to see if you understand well enough before messing with new parts.
And ya, like the other said, at that price you might as well buy one.
Last I checked the i7 8700k was the best gaming CPU out there. The GTX 1080 Ti is the best video card at the moment, but there's some nonsense with high prices going on right now. You'd probably do fine with 16 GB of RAM, and the one thing I wouldn't go without is an SSD, even if you get a smaller SSD to install the OS and your favorite games on, then use a 2nd drive for the other games, I still consider an SSD invaluable for speeding up loading times and such.
Today we have pcpartpicker.com for creating a parts list. You can do this yourself. Asking for someone to create a parts list for you can lead to problems such as making a bad purchase or even an incompatibility.
Several years ago someone asked a similar question here on Yahoo Answers. This person wanted a parts list that fit within an $600-750 budget for just the tower. The sad thing that happened to him is the parts list he was given was...... filled with outdated parts because the person who gave him the parts list was biased to one brand. This is what happens when you don't know what these parts can do.
I suggest taking a couple months to study on what to buy and what not to buy. Half of the point of building a PC is to figure out what parts are compatible, what parts are necessary and what parts aren't. The other point of building a PC is learning how to provide your own technical support.
The support that's typically provided here is what is a good buy and what is not a good buy. We edit builds based on our own experience and research. We also provide advice on what upgrades can be made to an existing system. All of us started out as rookies who knew nothing about building a PC, but we educated ourselves through study.
$6500 may be overkill. You need to ask yourself a few questions first such as. What screen resolution and FPS you want? What exactly are you going to do with the PC? Are you gaming, streaming and recording the games you play? Video Editing? CAD? Productivity? Software? how many monitors do you wish to use? You will want to build or buy a PC around these factors.
For that kind of money you can just order one and have a warranty. Get the faster chip you can, add as much RAM as you can, get the best video card and audio card that you can, get the best gaming controller that you can and it will most likely add up to less than you are willing to spend making your own.

2500 is plenty. see tomshardware or guru3d or similar gamer website for system ideas
What's the point in asking other for a list of parts? Why not just go out and buy the PC you want
It's just stupid to build parts a from a list that others provided
On that budget, you can get pretty much anything you want.
Here's something ridiculously overkill that is still $1000 under budget: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GhXxsZ
