Hello everyone! Lets get right to it, i am building a gaming pc and need some help with a few of the parts, i am also going to throw out there that this is my first build. As a pre-note i am looking to keep it in the $1500 USD range as my max.

Motherboard I have no clue about anything motherboard related but i would like a high performance one if anyone has suggestions

I am not actively looking for a monitor as i already have one! But feel free to suggest anything that can beat it (it is like 3 years old and i can't even remember the model other than it is a dell >.>) Another side note, it can go over that price slightly, but not by more than $200 USD
Thanks to everyone who contributes to this topic!
