I have a budget of 1500, I don't need the keyboard, mouse, or monitor. It would help for it to be liquid cooled and overclockable.

Here is what I would get for 1500$. With a Core i5, a GTX 780 and 8 GB of RAM, this PC will run everything smoothly at 1080P. The Phanteks PH-TC14PE is one of the best CPU coolers on the market. It cools better than some AIO coolers and is far more quiet. You also don't risk liquid leaking into your computer if it breaks. The PSU is made by Seasonic, so you it's quality. It features an 80+ gold certification and modular cabling. Plus, with 750W of power, the unit will run cool and quiet, with some power to spare if you need it. For the case, I went with a Corsair Carbide 500R, my personal favorite. It's a quality case with great airflow, plenty of cable management options and expandibility. It also got dust filters.

If you have questions, feel free to ask them. Have fun building !

Bigger hard drive, you dont need 16gb ram just for gaming so thats why I lowered it. The 8350 can easily be overclocked to 4.5ghz whenever you need it.

Could both of these run games like Battlefield, and Arma on Max or high settings? I would also prefer if these could run at high frame rates like 80+

Since they have a GTX 780 GPU, both builds will be able to run these games easily, even a 1440P. But, for about the same price, I would take my build with the Intel CPU which is more powerful than the one from AMD. Also, it got one of the best air coolers and with it, you will be able to overclock easily.

Oh my god, what are you talking about the cpu cooler. Tell me which one is more popular, your cpu cooler as only being bought by 2 people on pcpartpicker and the average rating is 3.5!!!!!! My fan has even more rpm plus you know that somehow you run into a problem, you have a whole lot of people that you can talk to for help.

This one has a 780ti which I can say for a fact is better then the 780. The power supply is made by xfx and they make really nice quality psu plus its fully modular meaning that you can really good cable managment and its 80+ gold. The best part is that there is a 780ti.

Ok you could change the case to a regular nzxt phanton, corsair 500r or if you want a cheaper one, you could go with the nzxt source 210 elite.
