I'm new to the computer building scene as I've owned a Mac all my life. I wanted to build a PC that can handle most games (namely, Battlefield 4) and cost $1500 or less. I've done a lot of research on this subject but I'm still unsure of who makes the best components. The only things I don't need are a mouse/keyboard, an optical drive, and a case (I have an old Power Mac G5 whose case, after heavy modification, would serve my need perfectly).

Any and all help is appreciated!

Alternatives:

HDD: bigger one
PSU: That is good enough
Memory: 16 GB if needed, for gaming 8 GB is enough
MB: Better overclocking, more expensive board
Processor: Xeon 1230 v3 would be but not in Newegg
Cooler: Anything similar is OK
SSD: Fast enough and SSD prices drop rapidly

Is that motherboard SLI/crossfire compatible? I want to be able to upgrade my graphics performance just by adding another of that video card.
