I would like to ask for some help here guys cuz its my first time building my own pc and budget is $1500 so I would like to ask if my build is okay? And the games that I play are League of Legends, Skyforge, Guild Wars 2 and probably some other games. I would like to know if I could play these types of games with the highest graphics. Using this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PpjZyc

No that new list isn't good that cpu isn't compatible with ddr4 and 32gb of ram for a gaming system is a massive waste of money, even the 16Gb in the build I posted is a bit overkill 8gb is currently enough for gaming.
PSU is an acronym for Power Supply Unit, for SLI you'd want an 850w psu but for a single 980ti 620-650w would be fine.
Its overkill as the hardware is way more powerful than what those games need. Thos games don't have the bigger hardware requirements as games like GTA V and The Witcher 3.

Both system are actually overkill for the games you listed.

I think PSU is overkill. He can save some bucks there and get H100i, as he already wanted.

I figured he had used a 850w in the first build for a future SLI upgrade. the Noctua D-14 performs similarly to the H100 and costs less and you don't have to worry about a pump failure.
