I have a budget of $1500. I would like to play games like BF4 at max settings at least at 1920x1080p. My needs includes a monitor, an OS and Microsoft Office, and make room for adaptability. I would perfer all the parts to be from one retailer.

So basically make this PC as maxed out as possible while staying in the budget.

Thanks and stay awesome guys!

$50 case on a $1500 build is an absolute no. It makes the whole thing look cheap. You want to spend at least a minimum of $75 - $100 on the case.

That gives you $150 left over for monitor or whatever keyboard and mouse you want.

Yeah but I still don't think it's a good idea. Especially if you plan to use any high end cooling down the road. There's just no reason for a cheap case on a build of $1000 or more. It'd be like putting $100 rims on a Bentley, you just can't do it.
