Reply to Building a gaming pc

So like the title says i'm going to build a gaming pc. I have never built a gaming pc before and i am looking for tips on graphics cards, processors and all that other stuff. I want the pc to be able to play games in the highest settings such as Battlefield 3, grand theft auto V (when it's released), crysis, fifa and indie games. the amount I'm looking to spend is $1,500

Thanks guys
