Hello,

My employer has tasked me with building a suitable machine for conducting a password audit every quarter. So far I've together this list and I was looking for suggestions on what I could improve or change in the build. Our budget for this machine is $1500

We are planning to use two R9 290x which are not in the list referenced above.

Using a consumer range CPU should save you some money on the CPU. Your budget is quite low anyway.

Also you should go with two GTX 970/980 (depending on your bugdet). Don't buy AMD.

Yeah Really I Agree ..You should go with Gtx 970 Till Date Best on Calculating your Budget Sir
