1500$ First Gaming Build

[TERRA-NOVA]

Hi! I have been working on this build for a while now and the time I plan on buying gets closer and closer so i'd like some thoughts. My budget is 1500 USD. I'm in Colorado, USA and I have easy access to a Micro Centre if that's important. I am looking to play games at 1080p max settings and this $1500 budget needs to include peripherals and monitor (no need for an OS). I plan to add another 8 gigs of ram, water cool my CPU, SLI my GPUs, add case fans, and get some nice peripherals later on but for now this would be everything. Any suggestions?

That's a very solid build for 1080p

 

And unless you plan for multi monitor setup, there's no need for SLI, spend it on peripherals

I plan on only one monitor because it of course costs more and the bezels ruin it for me. So a single 970 will be enough in 1 - 1 1/2 years?

A single 970 will stomp 1080p in at least 3.5 ~ 4 years
