Help with $1500 gaming PC please

I need an input on my new build. Graphic card is the component that I'm really not sure about. I think HD4980 is the best choice for me in this price range. I'm also not sure about what brand to get. What I had in mind was ASUS with ML cap(900Mhz) but I think that item is discontinued on newegg.com. Not sure if it will be offered again and if I should wait for it. All inputs and comments are welcome.

thank you

I'm still looking for an advise on which brand of HD4890 to get.

thank you

highest 4890 you'll find is the 4890 toxic wich has the vapor x cooling with the 4890 atomic overclock but the atomic gets damn hot so get the toxic

nice, you've got an ES CPU which was never released.

Toxic is out of stock at newegg.com. Do you guys have any recommendation to where I can get it? If not then Ill just get the xfx one and overclock it myself plus its cheaper!

thanks

you guys are the best. thank you!
