It can also be found here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/355pD
It goes a little over my budget of 1500$ but that's alright.
How it currently stands it will cost me: 1541.74 $

Thanks in advance.

if you are going only to do basic stuff and gaming 16gb of ram won't be necessary. no game out there can utilize more than 5gb ram.
that ssd is overpriced btw.
