1500 would have been enough to build a much better computer

8gb ram is overkill, as is the 850W PSU. (750W is powering my i7 920 and HD 5850 with no problems)
did you also consider getting an aftermarket cooler? the stock intel ones are usually pretty shitty

the reason that people choose to stick with the older i7 9xx is because of the lga1366 socket, as the new i7 6-core processors will be using the same socket
