    $1500 gets you a fucking great rig.

    I have this $1200 list for you:

    It's probably best to wait for the GTX 1080 to arrive. Meanwhile, I chose the 980ti. You might want to upgrate to 16 GB of RAM if you feel like, but 8 is enough for now.

    i5 all the way for gaming, it is the same as an i7 just without a thing called "Hyperthreading" which games take no advantage of.

    I left out the case to choose for yourself. This is an ATX Form Factor build, if you want a small case, you need the Motherboard to be mATX.

    How about the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv?

    For build guides, @LinusTechTips has good ones, as well as Corsair: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/lan…, https://www.youtube.com/user/lin…
