Gaming Computer Build On $1500 Budget

[brandonb99]

I want to buy a computer with $1500 and I have some certain goals. I want an intel core, but I don't know beyond that. I also want to be able to play modded minecraft and gta v without frame rate issues. I want the computer to look cool, as well as function completely. I also want those blue leds in the case. I have no problem putting a computer together, I just don't know what parts to get. Any input is appreciated. Thank you for your time.
