Hey guys Im just about to build my Custom gaming computer. My budget is 1500 and I have all the parts figured out and what I want. With my gaming Pc I want to play the latest games at ultra high 1080p with atleast 60 fps and with the gaming rig that I selected it does that pretty well but I was wondering if there was any GPUs that I am just missing and are better than the one i selected for around my budget. My parts I picked came out to 1556 which is fine with me and my GPU is the MSI radeon r9 280x, Is there any other GPUs that I can get that are around that price and would give me better performance or is this a good choice for now?

Cheaper motherboard with good features. Cheaper cooler because the Haf 912 can't use a 2 x 140mm radiator. Cheaper Psu, but still bronze certified and a good quality. .6" smaller monitor, but it's an IPS model with a 5ms response time. Upped the video card to the 770. Faster ram, and cheaper too.

Thank you for the new parts list. I did however keep the Mobo becuase of the Combo deal with the processor and the dragon theme which is my whole computer thing it also holds DDR3-3000 Ik not big difference but i just prefer it. I also don't like the Gtx 770 as I have seen screen to screen fps benchmarks between the gtx 770 and r9 280x and the 280x always had a little more fps idky but it did. I was wondering if there was any other video cards that were a little better. No matter that tho thank you for saving me c ouple bucks :)
