Yeah that seems good.
Your processor and motherboard are compatible. Your ram is good. And a Radeon 7950 is a pretty good graphics card.
You said that you have $1500? You might want to upgrade to a stronger card, just since you have the money.
i dont mind spending 1500$ at all. what would be a better card?

Hmm, I would go for a Radeon 7970 or a GTX 680. To decide between either of them really depends on the games that you play. Good luck though!
