Any reason for wanting an i7? They are pretty much pointless compared to an i5 if your focus is gaming.

Can someone help me build a 1,500$ 1440p BF4 gaming pc with preferably a intel i7 and a 1tb SSD that is a SILENT gaming pc.

if you are only gaming you dont need an i7, that can go towards a better gpu

and a 1tb SSD is pretty expensive. PRobably more expensive than the GPU. It will cost about $500 leaving you no space for an i7 and a decent GPU

Im so patriotic, I piss red white and blue. My doctor told me it was pancreatic cancer, I told him to SHUT HIS COMMIE MOUTH.

The hyperthreading on the i7 helps when playing battlefield since battlefield can use up to 6 cores

This is what I'd do if I needed a full atx size silent gaming pc with a 1tb ssd. It's slightly over budget but if you really need to stay below you could get a 500gb now for about the same price/gb of a 1tb one.

That cooler because you could put the fans on the case (idk much about that case but I think you can) and leave the heatsink fanless.

That psu because it'll never make any noise and it can handle this build as well as another 980 if you want to add another.
