This will be my first PC build not looking for anything over $1500 do you guys think this is good or some things need to get changed? BTW I do not want any water coolers.

hi, probably only an aftermarket thermopaste.
the psu (500w) should be enough, but 550/600w would be better imo.

-PSU is poor quality.
-K CPU on a non-OC MB
-For cheaper you could go Skylake/DDR4

If you wish to overclock then get a K series CPU with a Z series MB. The build I posted won't need a aftermarket cooler.

Check out my changes. You should switch around a few parts to match whatever color scheme you wanted. Also consider waiting until june for Nvidia pascal and AMD polaris.
