I'd lover the Con to 16 (or even 14) - since you get extra HP (10+con-bonus) at every lvl (and not just until lvl 9 as in 2nd ed.) you will have plenty of HP. As a fighter you will also get plenty of feats, so you can always choose Toughness to get some more.

The High INT for more skillpoints is an extremely good idea - it will give you many more oppotuneties as the game progesses.

You're right about a fighter in heavy armor not needing a high DEX score, but I would still raise it to 13, because there are several feats (dodge and mobility for starters) that require DEX=13.

Use the extra points to raise the other characteristics to avoid negative modefiers - they can become annoying.

EDIT:
My human fighter started with
STR 16, DEX 13, CON 13, INT 14, WIS 10, CHR 10, - at lvl 4 I chose +1 CON and after that it was + to STR.
