http://pcpartpicker.com/user/WTFshady/saved/W4stt6 I'll just leave the permalink here, as I have to go. You need to check it out yourself. I'm not that experienced with PC building, so it might not be the best build out there.

Assuming you don't want to overclock, here is a really powerful build.

This is a very good build. With your budget you could get a bigger ssd if you wanted.

I don't know how good this is - I'm extremely new to the whole PC building thing, too. But here goes nothing.

Chunkym0nkey19I7 was a forsure, and 8gb, i was thinking 12. But 8 is also fine.

You're not really going to need an i7, but if you really want it, that's fine. Also, you only need 8GB of RAM unless you're doing tons of video editing or something like that.

i7+more than 8GB=video editing/rendering. If you don't want to do that, an i5 is enough.

If you want to run Minecraft, get a Intel Core i7 instead of i5 (Minecraft is mostly processor), RAM, at least 8gb, if you want other games, get a nvidia geforce 670 instead of 660 ti.

Why? An i7 is not better for gaming? Really, it can be worse?

And yeah, lets buy last gen GPU's.

Get a i5. And you won't ever use more than 8 while gaming, never will use more than 8.

I'll make a build in a second.

this is a build someone made for me. It's a great gaming build and can run games like bf3 and bf4 pretty well.

That's a terrible build considering their budget goes up to 1500 and they want to be able to run ANYTHING
