Get an i5 2500k, i7 does practically Nothing for gaming. Ivy bridge has shit heat temps.
8GB is more than enough RAM, 16 is only for Extreme photo and video editing
2TB Hard drive if youre gonna get shit loads of movies.
660 Ti is fine. Or a GTX 580 is fine. Youll still be able to play BF3 on high settings. I can play it on my 560 Ti
Case looks good, a bit ricer though.

All that will save you LOTS of money. Just because you have 1500, doesnt mean you should spend it all.

Oh, also dont buy a prebuilt, build it your self and it'll cost you even less. Self building a computer is really easy.

Im new to computers and things and dont know where to start with building Computers!

PC Noob with parts...

If you could recommend some parts to me that add up to around 1500 that would be really helpful!

save your money get a temp gpu, gtx 780 is coming out in 6-12 months and is estimated to be 2x faster than the 680
