$1500 budget setup!

[Balter]

Hi guys... 

 

I've convinced a friend that having a decent PC can out perform any console... 

My budget is $1500. 

Need mass storage for downloads

An SSD is a must.

Also, a monitor for gaming.

overclocking is not needed for any components seeing that he doesn't know what that is.

 

Thank you all in advance!
