is that usa dollars ? if it is you can make a system for $1500 usd that would completely destroy anything you throw at it.
here is a build that would be very sensible to play any game at 1080p at 60+ fps on maximum settings and save you a lot of $

This will run games about 3x as well as the build Pavitt was starting with. Highly recommended.

Depending on local sales and budget, either an i5 4670k (* like the build above) or FX 8320-8350 build would be a much better option for gaming. Spending much more on an FX 9000 series or i7 for gaming is not the best ROI.

I would only spend more for an i7 + Z-series board, or FX 8350 + 990FX motherboard, if you plan to use multiple GPUs and overclock heavily. For a single high-end GPU and mild overclock, an i5 or an FX + 970 chipset will be plenty.

I wanted something with more cores, at least six.
I can't find a Intel CPU with more than four.
I'll do a lot more research before I do anything else.

4770k with 4 cores will destroy any 8 core amd option more cores does NOT mean better performance its about how each core is utilized and amd simply cannot match high end intel processors and intel does have 6 8 12 and i believe even 15 core cpus but they simply cost outrageous amounts of money cheapest ones start at $500+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116939

refer to this chart for best gaming CPUs and it will make sense as to why 4670k is the best choice.

The quad-core i5-4670K will perform far better than any AMD 6 core, and better than most of their 8 cores.

Ok, that's quite extreme, at least the two MSI GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB TWIN FROZER Video (2-Way SLI )
