Pc for $1500

[Mondra]

I actually have a build planned out, but I wanna see what you guys think.
A pc, windows 8.1, monitor, and peripherals for 1500$(margin of error is around 100$). Any ideas?

Ok no intent to be rude or mean, just let me tell you whats wrong with your build. We are all here to learn.

1. AMD 8320 CPU in a $1500 build.
2. Super overpriced motherboard that is not needed
3. Super overpriced RAM
4. expensive 3tb HDD when OP never said needing that mass of storage
5. 960 in $1500 build

A amd cpu in an 1.4k+ build does not have its place in this build.

Preach it pls. 😛

I see, he literally posted his own build from PCPartPicker with a different case.

Not to mention the h60 which performs like 1-2 c better than a 212.

What peripherals do you need?
