Help with pc build

[PC_Master_Race]

Hello to every one one the forum.  

I would like help with making a parts list for my next $1500 build.  I already have a monitor picked out (http://www.microcenter.com/product/444614/Q2778VQE_27_Quad_Resolution_Monitor) but excluding that I don't really have any preferences as to what goes in the build.  I would however prefer that the build be white and purple themed with an included windows 8.1 copy.

Including the price of the monitor or excluding from the 1.5k budget?

I chose the CPU because of the Price to performance that it has and is really the best skylake overclockable CPU in my mind

The cooler is just a nice cooler and will do the job nicely if you ever wanted to over clock 

The storage is a great config because you have a ssd and a hdd so you can install your OS and most played games/ used programs on there and just dump other stuff on your mechanical hard drive

The GPU is by far the best thing in this computer you will be able to play any games for the next 4-5 years on this GPU.

I sorta just put the case in there as a place holder, the enthoo pro is a great case (I have the enthoo luxe, its basically the same thing but with LED Lights pre-installed) but any case around that price would be good, such as the mastercase pro 5 from cooler master.

Now that power supply is great 850 watts is all the power you will ever need in case you ever wanted to add another GTX 980 down the line. and it is 80 plus platinum efficiency  

 

Hope I was able to help.

Mainly I made it 8gb of RAM, a 390 and a slightly less power supply but will still be good even though it is 80+ gold

I do like this build as it leaves a little wiggle room even with the monitor in for things like fans and possible case changes.
