The power supply should be the "RMI" version and not the "RM" version. You could cheap out on stuff like the case and remove a SSD if you wanted to get the R9 390X. You could also change the R9 390 to the GTX 970 but thats up to you. The build theme is red and black. Slightly over budget.

 

Whether or not to get that SSD is a matter of morals.

Get rid of the two GTX 950s. You should not be SLI'ing with those cards. One single stronger GPU is always the better choice.

 

Overkill PSU. I'd also get a better CPU cooler.

 

Seeing how your budget is $1500, I'd go for this:

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

Its not worth it for the significant loss in quality and the premium feel that the others have got.

And that SSD is overkill.

One thing. The budget is in CAD, not USD. This build in Canadian dollars is about $1800. Well over OP's budget.
