First of all I know i am pretty picky and I don't want to sacrifice much from this build but i need to get it down to $1500. Things i dont want to sacrifice from this list are the CPU Cooler, MOBO, RAM, Case, and wireless adapter. IF POSSIBLE keep the video card and CPU. Also I'm trying to stick to the red/black theme.
A couple of other things to consider...I have a copy of WIN 7 I could use to save money but I know WIN 8 would take advantage of Direct X 11 for gaming so I would love yall's thoughts on that. I could also save on a display buy using a Samsung 22" HDTV I have laying around which from most gamers you'd hear don't use a HDTV for gaimng so I would also like to know what yall think about that as well. So those two things could save a lot of cash but would I disappointed in the performance and looks of it? Also I realize it would be easy to just choose more cheaper parts but that's why i need you guys' help to get this build down to $1500 without sacrificing performance/quality as best as possible. Thanks in advance!
