So ive just scrounged up enough money for i what i think should be enough to build a good gaming pc to last me a little while and im wondering if you guys could help me by suggesting parts with quality worth the money.
im not very good with tech stuff and nobody i know is either.
My budget is 1500 ( a bit more is fine ) and im looking for the best i can get with that much money.
If anybody can suggest a place to buy parts rather then ship them so i can avoid shipping costs that would be good to, if not oh well.

Best solution
This is a well balanced gaming build!
I can build a bit more expensive but it won't increase gaming performance too much

Do people realize how many actually gonna SLI or crossfire?
This build is far better for cheaper.
No reason for that expensive cooler.
No reason for a z87 board with xeon.
290x is shitty priced, get a cheaper 780ti for almost the same price.
