I have a monitor already (asus pg278q)
Have the cpu already as well (i7 8700k) This was a gift which is why I want to build a new pc, the 1500$ Is not counting the cpu and monitor since I have them already.

I’ll probably order these parts in a week (when I get the cpu) but if there are any worthwhile cyber Monday deals I can order them today/Tm.

Games I will play are cod bf2 sc2 And overwatch. Maybe assassins creed.

I do need windows as well. Any help is appreciated thanks!

Install windows off of Microsoft website, then buy a key for it online for like 5 bucks.

single channel RAM
makes the 3200mhz quite pointless

It's been tested and proven that single vs dual channel config makes a nominal difference in gaming performance... Feel free to watch the study gamers nexus did on this: https://youtu.be/9nSX2taw-Y4

my favorite part is how be tested only one game
fallout 4 is significantly slower with single channel RAM, for example, if we want to use the one game argument.

Dual channel > single channel.

Cool, dual channel is better for synthetic loads, aka workstation. Show me a result where dual channel config provides more than a 5% increase in gaming performance on average and I'll admit I'm wrong.

Thanks!
Went with almost all those , do have a question though , I have a cryorig h7 cooler, should I go ahead and upgrade to the cooler you chose or keep this one ? I don’t plan on passing 4.9 or 5 ghz on cpu.

reuse the h7, unless you don't mind spending $100 more for looks getting the h100
also get this ram, https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Cf98TW/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvkb
same ram, just $10 cheaper and it's dual channel.
txm's a good psu, but seasonic's are known to be godtier in psu's and you can get it for much cheaper w/ 10yr warranty vs corsair's 7
