That's a lot to digest.  Clearly I have more to think about, especially regarding future upgrading.

1.  Yes would like to be able to upgrade in a few years but I'm not sure I want to invest in DDR4 at the moment especially when prices will drop in the future.

2.  I'm rethinking the cpu.

3.  I'll look for a better psu.

4.  I'm not trying to play modern games at 4K, I was thinking older ones like Bioshock or Dead Space.  I would however like to play games at 1440.

5.  EVGA's B-stock deals seem like the way to go.  However the red prints says they don't come with accessories.  What would be missing?

What specific build would you make in the $1500 range that could easily be upgraded in a few years?

Wow those prebuilt pcs look like good deals, especially the HP Envy Phoenix 850se Desktop.  That's very tempting.
