Hey guys, this is my first post here so I would like to say reading these forums has been a great help to me in the past. But it is time that I start posting and contributing to the forums.
I am currently going after a promotion at work, which I am pretty sure that I will get. With the extra money that will be coming my way, I have decided to build my third computer. The first two that I build were years ago so I am assuming the build that I came up with so far could use some tweaking. My budget for the build is roughly 1500. What I want from the computer is to be able to play almost any game at full resolution with hardly any hiccups. As well as enough storage for any music and movies. This is what I have so far.

I do have a copy of windows that I can use so I do not have to buy one in this build. So this comes out to $1657.18. If anyone has any recommendations for something that would be better bang for the buck or anything like that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
