Need help choosing parts

Hey guys, I need some help choosing parts to build a pc. I'm looking to spend about $1500 usd. I'm really into corsair and nvidia parts so wherever those can be implemented would be great. Going to use it mostly for gaming, CS:GO and several others. Any help would be appreciated.

Went $30 over and it's very overkill. Also used corsair and nvidia where i could. chose a gigabyte 980 ti instead of evga bc for the price it's the best imo

Here's my recommendation. Not totally Corsair since other brands offer better bang for your buck for certain parts (for instance, the PSU):

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

So what's your display set up? Because by going with a 390 you can fit in a 1440p 144hz IPS free-sync display, the G-sync equivalent is $200 more, would be great for CS:GO naturally. Though possibly worth it to get an i5 that can OC and a Z170 board. would mean dropping the SSD though. Otherwise you could drop the display to a 1080p 144hz TN Display that would be easier to run at higher settings, but you'd probably never have to replace the 1440p display below.

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.
