[Build Ready] Building a gaming rig and just want to have someone else give it a once-over.

USD$

My sisters boyfriend is into PC gaming, but has never had a desktop that could handle serious gaming before. Now that he's got some extra cash, he wanted me to help him build a gaming rig. This is what I'm looking at right now. Max budget is $1500.
