recommendation for $1500 working/gaming rig

[alvin722]

Hi all master and expert,

i would need your advice for building a new PC, my budget is around 1500.

I would utilize this PC for Video editing, running multiple bluestack, and maybe playing some AAA title.

CPU and Mobo: Any recommendation? Need one with better processing power.
Ram: 16GB or more since i run multiple blue stack
Storage: ?GB SSD
Casing: i want a small casing that enough to fit in all the component
Psu: Any recommendation?
Wifi card: Do i need one? Or just get a motherboard with this feature?
GPU: Any recommendation?
Might add in additional sata HDD or more Ram, hope the build can last for 3 years and i have no intention of doing any OC.

Thanks for your advice.

I have some more question here hopefully you can help me with that as well.

Do I need to buy an extra fan for the CPU? Or but something water coolant cooler like what show on the CM elite 130 review

If I decide to remove the HDD for now, I have a bit more to spend on the graphic cards, what are the next available option that have significant improvement for the gfx?

Is there any differences for the ram with/without kits? I check the kits price are normally expensive than the single piece.

how do you derive the price for the Kingston ram after applying the code? I check the unit price is like 56. I understand the Zotac GTX970 getting the $25 off of total price, don't really get the difference between this 2*, 3+3^, 3* works. not really familiar with the lazada purchase.

Thanks for your help.

Stock cooler is sufficient if you are not overclocking.

The next one above the gtx 970 is the 980 which is approx $700 and the performance gains not worth the money. If you are only gaming on 1080p, the gtx 970 is the best bang for your buck.

No difference. Just aesthetics. If you are on a tight budget, go for the valuerams.
