1500$ USD gaming rig

[rob1nat0r]

Hello forum. I'm not new to PC building or specing but I am new to building "expensive" ones and i need some help. I have 1500$ to spend on the tower itself no peripherals or OS key. I need just 1tb harddrive and 500gb ssd. I am going for Raw gaming horsepower. And i'm not sure if ddr4 is worth it yet since its so new and expensive. if possible a close loop water cooler and an i7. and I am going for a red/black color scheme. any input is welcome! Thank you!

Right at the edge of your budget, but will perform very, very well.

Also if someone else could Spec one with a H100 and  or some other close loop water cooler that would be nice! and also an i7.

At what resolution are you going to play at? Because if at 1080p 60Hz, I would not go for 980 Ti.

1080P 144hz

This will power any game you wish to play at medium to high settings. I know its only 1300$ but this leaves room for some upgrades you may want to do or buy some new peripherals
