This is the build I have planned out.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tZJgNG

I currently cannot decide on a case. The budget for the case is 100. I'm going 2 way SLI with my old GTX 970 STRIX. The OS I'm using is much cheaper than windows 8.1. Do tell me where I can make changes to my build at :)

Btw I'm living in Singapore so shipping may be a problem and there's barely any computer parts shop here so I may have to order from Amazon

Thats a fine high end-ish build. I see no problems with it, though the cpu for gaming might be a touch overkill. Maybe consider a i5-4690K, as for gaming it will be about the same, and about $100 cheaper.

Do you want the case to be silent, do you want window? Anyway I reccomend define R5, H440 or something form corsair phanteks for around 100€, cases are very subjective :)

1500 is a lot to play with, and you've done a decent build. I would go with that. :D Umm i would try to go with a 280mm radiator and fan for the CPU if the case supports the size.
