I need a little more info: Do you already have a monitor? If not, do you feel 1920x1080 is appropriate? Because at $1500 you might be able to get yourself a rig that'll run a lot of games well at 2560x1440 and still achieve 60 fps, and then just settle for 1080 with some of the newer games.

What about peripherals? Do you already have a mouse and keyboard that will suffice? Plus does it have to be strictly Amazon if I find something better performance or better priced on Newegg? Lastly, I notice you put the dollar sign after the number. So are you from outside the US?

Dues Gladiorum:
i don't see a problem with Newegg if it's better and low priced.
no i don't have a monitor but i'm planning in buying one locally, and 1920x1080 is good enough.
i already have a mouse and a keyboard.
