Can't really help without a lot more info... Are you looking for a small itx case?  a huge full size atx case? Are you going to game? A lot? Do video or photo edit? Do you want a window in your case? Looking to watercool? What country do you live in (prices differ)? Does that 1500$ include accessories such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard and headphones or speakers?  

 

The whole point of building your own desktop is to customize it because you have thousands of choices. So there is no perfect 1500$ build. It all depends on your needs, as well as some amount of personal preference (looks wise mostly)

I'm going to imagine you're Danish, so asking a forum that is primarily American/english is not going to work.

 

Things are way more expensive here, and if you want to order from something like Newegg, you're going to have to pay a toll of 25%

 

go here, i recently bought new parts from here and they are reasonably cheap and have good support.

 

If you need help, shoot me a message and I'll see what i can do.

If you're not going to order until July, you might as well wait on picking a build.

i think it's easiest to choose the components now and order in about June maybe

New hardware = cheaper "older" hardware.

 

Wait and you might get a better system for the same amount of money.

ja det ved jeg godt men hvad er det der bliver billigere er det mit gamle hardware dvs. at hvis jeg skal sælge det skal jeg sælge det for mindre. jeg forstår det ikke

-.- Det du skal købe bliver billigere. Et grafikkort der koster 3000kr nu, kommer til at blive billigere til sommer fordi der er nye graffikkort på vej.

 

Hvilket vil sige at du kan få bedre dele til samme pris som de dele du kan vælge nu, til sommer.

You can always wait for better hardware for the same price or cheaper. And then when you finally decide to buy it after waiting for months, then there will be better hardware coming out in a couple months again and you will stay unsatisfied. Might as well buy the hardware when you want it unless there is an imminent release.
