$1500 gaming build

[hanna_massouh]

I want to build a pc in the $1500 range. A must is using the gtx 980. I am looking for a quiet build and a black/red theme, no peripherals. I was thinking of a be quiet cpu heatsink and a fractal design r5. Just put your pcpartpicker links below.

Thanks

How about case fans? I assume you want silence. Go with the EK Zardar.
