Hey guys, I'm building a gaming PC for a $1500 budget (peripherals included). I would appreciate any input and recommendations on how I can improve my rig. thanks

Looks really good, all that is left is bargain hunting the parts.

and the 6500 comes with a stock cooler so you do not need to buy another one

Maybe get a slightly cheaper PSU with less wattage if you want to save a few bucks. Otherwise looks good.

 

EDIT: I would also skip the Noctua fan.
