Bying an OS? Yes

Preferred site to buy from: newegg, tigerdirect

Total cost is 1000$ ,add your monitor cost to that and OS cost and you're closer to your stated 1500 budget.
Might change ssd to one with bigger capacity, that way you can put on it your OS and games and they will run faster than on hdd.
