What range of processor, motherboard, cooling system, memory, hard drive, cases, power core , graphics card ,wireless network and other parts needed to build a gaming desktop that is able to play games on the high settings? All under a budget of $1500. For example, some game new games that i want to play on a great gaming desktop are the new star wars battlefront, Skyrim and all its mods, Destiny, tom clancy's the division, and other such games.
 
I'm not sure if you need an OS, keyboard, mouse, display, dedicated sound card? So here's my suggestion of some the main components
