Hey guys. First PC builder here. I made a build for 1500 dollars that I guess I'm okay with, I just wanna see what you guys can come up with for the same budget.

Two monitors included in the budget. The PC will be for high gaming such as GTA 5, Crysis, Farcry, etc. No need to include peripherals or OS, just the monitors. Thanks in advance!
