Hi, I need tips for the best PC Build for Max 1500$. I want to play newest games at high settings at decent fps, and also I want to be able to stream at 1080p. I'm watching a lot of videos about pc builds but still I end up wondering, what will be a quite decent build for 1500 in 2016. Any Tips? Hints? Builds?

you have plenty of capital for what you want, and im happy to help. 

recently, i did i build very similar to what you are describing for about 200 dollars less

you would need at least an r9 380 or nvidia gtx 960, which both run at around the 200 dollar price range

you could probably manage to get an unlocked skylake cpu, which are going down in price everyday, hovering just north of 350

motherboards are variable but if you get skylake, then you will need an 1151 socket, and it would be best to get the h170 chipset 

for psu, 650 watts from a good manufacturer will leave more tha enough power for oc, and these are around 70-85 dollars at the moment

a case is very personal, so i wont really comment on that. about a month ago i dropped 350 bucks on a lian li pc o6sx because it was pretty, so dont do that. lol

id also grab a sshd or ssd/ hdd combo. the previous is more affordable though

for oc, id get no smaller than a 240 mm rad or full sized air cooler (nothing low profile)

other than that i think you should be golden

@Bigheart  i7-4790k is it worth?

if you are asking if it is worth 320 dollars, id say yes. you will buy cheaper ram and a cheaper motherboard with this set up too, but the skylake platform is much more efficient and the ram is faster, but the cpu itself is only about 5% faster than the 4790k

The hyperthreading should help in streaming.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Are you including peripherals and monitor(s)?
