Where are you going to buy your parts from? Switzerland only or also from Germany?

It's much easier for me to give you a parts list from Germany.

I don't consider this a good build for $1500.

With a budget that high he can get even a Titan X and you went with a R9 390.

I also think your motherboard, CPU cooler, PSU, case and SSD are overpriced, because OP was asking for the best price/performance ratio.

I don't see why anyone would need a 6-core CPU for gaming.

I guess I should've mentioned. US parts would be ideal.

Are you going to contribute or just pick holes in peoples suggestions?  Its purely a list of what can be bought for that money, its up to the op to tune to what he requires, think we can already see from his sig that he knows what he is doing

 

Also I think it would be a massively imbalanced build if you tried to include a titan at this budget

I contributed by criticizing other people's recommendations and by adding a part list myself. I don't see a problem at all and I don't understand your comment.

I never said he should use a TitanX, but I said that he could fit one in this budget. So using a $300 graphics card and not using left over budget is very counterproductive when OP wants the best price to performance $1500 build. In the same comment I was also talking about overpriced components and still you think I want him to use a TitanX. What were you thinking?  :blink:

I didn't suggest it.

A suggestion isn't the same as a comparison.
