Hi, I need to build a new pc but im extremely bad at picking parts, does anyone have a solid set of parts for under 1500??

Mostly using for gaming playing games like GTA 5, MGS5, CSGO, Etc.

 

Thanks for any input!

Before someone comes along and gives you a $1500 build, you probably don't need to pay that much. My GTX 970 is amazing and runs basically everything I throw at it. Save a little bit for peripherals and future upgrades. I paid a bit under $1000 for my PC.

Im still sticking with my 780ti... however, sli 960 does have a nice price-performance sound to it.  And dont forget the awesome looks of 2 sli cards.

I dont have monitors thats why I put my budget up a bit higher but I do have Mouse, Keyboard, Headset, a wireless internet modem, and I have a gtx 960 4gb I could reuse.

If you have a 960, you may want to consider getting a second one for sli.
