[SOLVED] Buying new PC next month, put together a list. Hoping for opinions / advice.

Approximate Purchase Date: End of next month

Budget Range: $1500 total is the top end of my budget.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming. Being able to stream smoothly would be nice but the priority is gaming.

Are you buying a monitor: Yes


Parts to Upgrade: Whole new computer

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Doesn't really matter.

Just looked at some reviews for the cooler and the cooler that comes with the 3600 seems to be about the same if not, a few degrees better. Other than that I would say seems pretty solid. Maybe go for a fully modular power supply for some nicer cable management :)

Thanks :). Either saved me $30 or gave me $30 to put into better RAM :p. Thanks for the tip!
