Hello I'm gonna get my first gaming setup. Right now I play on a really old computer with an i7 (don't know what kind) and a gtx 270, I really don't anything more than that. I have an philips 60hz 1080p monitor so if anyone could recommend a gaming monitor also I would love you. I can spend a max of 1500 usd for everything mouse, keyboard, monitor and computer. I don't know if I can skip the monitor and get one later. Most games I play are fps games but i also like WoW and LoL. I do want to play some of the new games like CoD AW and watch dogs ext. If anyone has any idea please help me, and if you don't think this is enough and that I should try to get some more money please tell me that also. Any help is helpful.  :D

Peripherals are completely personal, so it's really up to you, but I put ones that I would recommend in.
