Second time around building a highly-capable, but not overkill, gaming PC. Last one was around Sandy Bridge time.
Budget aim was under 1500 but went over by 200 by making some exceptions. It'd be great if I can get some suggestions for improvement (lowering $ at the cost of little performance).
Tried tweaking some. Thoughts?
