Building a custom gaming PC (100% Noob)
Been using Mac so I have no idea where to even start. I don't really have a budget but I don't want to spend more than $1,500. I mainly play CS:GO but I might need to use it for school. So where do I start?

It lists a handy website that can be used to get a good solid base for a build: http://www.logicalincrements.com/

IMO $1500 is quite a lot for a build, especially just to play CS:GO. My own build is $500 and I play CS with about 180fps minimum (on a 160Hz monitor). I made this build for fun too, so it's not at all optimized. With a $700 build you could comfortably get 300fps I would say.

What should I get then?
