Hello everybody I am kinda new to all that PC stuff but I have some money saved so I would like to spend 1500$ on my new PC I will be mainly only playing all high end games and I would like to get something that will suit me very good next 4-5 years. So if you could somehow post me some good parts to get.

also my last name is thompson
I would argue there is no true "$1500" gaming rig, you can technically get a $1000 PC that can max out any game to date, then the rest typically goes into additions and accessories/making it sparkle. But that's my philosophy. You have to ask yourself if you're really going to use 3TB of storage, or just want it to toss on your specs list and only use 500gb of it.
