ok 1500 is pretty sweet to build a rig with. i would say go with the quad core processor for one i have the q6600 2.4ghz quad. i got a 9400gt 1gbgraphics card and a 650watt powersupply. the main thing is you can not cheap yourself on the processor, motherboard, and powersupply.the rest can get by on. so i would say also get a 1tb hard drive since they are getting c heaper by teh day. my total rig cost me 500 and i can still play games like MW at max. also just about every game i have i have maxed out graphic wise on the pc. granted my processor is actually 3 years old i can still (once i get me a new fan for it) overclock it to where i want it. if i was you find someone very knowledgable about pc parts and no not best buy geek squad either. im on my rig right now and i have found one game i have slowed it down on but i think that is cause of ram which i only have 2gb and i want alot more.
Oh when looking at motherboards go with asus they make the best ones. the processor i bought the q6600 has a very very very good overclock to it. and has been known to be overclocked with the right fan to 4ghz. which on a quad core is amazing. my nvidia card i can overclock as well as long as i have the right fans. the only things i really need is the new fan on it and the ram. then i can run pretty much anything. oh my motherboard can hold up to 16gb of ram. so im all good to go with that. which from what ive seen recently windows 7 had a bump in ram allowance.
ok i went back and looked at what your getting very nice. yes go with that but make sure you get a decent power supply to run it all though. otherwise it would be underpowered.
