I am looking to buy a gaming PC and wanted other people's opinion on which one I should buy or if I should build it. Either way I want the best I can get for $1500.

This would be a good build for $1500, I included OS and peripherals for a 1080p build, if you already have them, I would use the extra money for a 1080.
