My budget is: about 1500$ (6000
I live in: Israel (so my currency is NIS and don't want to order from online)
Operating system: Windows 8
Monitor: No need, got 2 i am satisfied with
Gaming resolution : Want to play most games on 1080p 60 fps so i guess 1920x1080
Peripherals?: No need
Will you do overclocking?: No overclocking
What are you planning to do with the pc?: I want this pc mostly for current games and future high spec games, so i would like a computer that can run most games today on ultra and that will be good for the next few years.

I don't have much experience with building computers but my brother knows a bit so i just need a general spec and parts and he will help me find a place to buy them.

Thank you very much in advance, hope i can get the PC soon and we can play games together in the future ^_^

do you know how your computer parts cost in releation to us parts?
for 1080p max i would recommend a gtx 980(msi or evga tends to be good) or 390x(sapphire is real good)
for cpu i would avoid skylake as they tend to be a bit overpriced, go with a 4790k and a decent motherboard, asus z97-a or gigabyte gaming 5 for example. Case is extremly subjective but i like nzxt noctis 450,nzxt h440,fractal design define r5 and for a real budget case go with bitfenix neos.
psu's are a bit tricky i would recommend something with quality and about 800w for sli possibilitty like coolermaster v series or better of evga g2.When it comes to ssd pick anything from a brand you trust, stay away from kingston v300s and samsung 840s. ocz arc is often value. ram, anything with a heatspreader and 1600mhz +,8-16 gb

Hello and good luck with the build! I completely agree with everything h3ll0j3ll0 is saying. I do have something else you would want to think about. The memory that you can get with the above processor is DDR3. That is great memory but it isn't the best. Looking at Newegg.com (just for reference) the only socket type that allows for DDR4 is the LGA 1151, 2011 and 2011-v3. I have the Intel X99 series motherboard. It allows for DDR4 quad channel memory. I won't lie, I have it for my job at work. It will very much increase the cost of the computer. I wanted to put that out there as something to think about.

If nothing else with the CPU (4790K that h3ll0j3ll0 talkd about) you can get the DDR3 1866 (memory speed) and it should be quad channel DDR3.

Good luck and let us know if there are any questions.

you cant quadchannel on a consumer platform like z97 or z170 its reserved for the prosumer chipset like x79 or x99 and in games the memory speed makes almost no difference aslong as its above 1600 mhz
