Need help on gaming rig.

[contagious]

Hello there.
I currently have a rig ~3-4 years old and am currently thinking of getting a new CPU.

I have a budget of about $1500
I prefer Nvidia over AMD cards(never touched AMD before)
Need an OS, win 7 preferably.
Hopefully can fit in an SSD too.
Do not need wireless.

Also if it were possible is there a case similar to ikonik EN2 sizing as I do not have much of a space to place the cpu at.

I play games like GTA5, MGSV, blade and soul, dota2, league of legends, just cause 3 and fallout 4 and hopefully the division on ultra.

Not too sure if my budget could fit ultra settings to those games.

problem 1
you need to measure your desktop space requirements with cable allowance. This decide quite abit into the budget.

ATX casing allows you to fit almost anything with only pricing to consider

MATX you have to take measurement into serious consideration and thus limiting on your hardware choices

Prices from PC themes

I checked the dimensions (and I worked in this case before), yes it is the same size as the Ikonik EN2, and it has USB ports and I/O in front, which helps further with clearance issues.

All prices from PC themes.

If you don't mind buying online, you can get this SSD instead of the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
