Hi everyone, I am new to the forums. I will be building a new gaming rig soon and would like everyone's input. Will this build be able to handle games at Ultra settings for the next 2-3 years at least? I would like to spend $1500 max. Also, is there any possible build that would have equal performance at a lower price? If you have any recommendations for parts better than what I have chosen, please let me know. Thanks
