My friend wants an ATX build for video games (1080p) and video editing. He has a budget of 1500 dollars. He wants his PC to be red, green, or blue. OS he'll be fine, he'll grab a key online or through his friend.

The Samsung 850 EVO SSD is much better, if that one's a bit expensive the SK Hynix SL308 is a good alternative.

 

The SUPERNOVA NEX isn't great, get a GQ or GS instead. Or a Corsair RMx.

 

Rest of build is fine.
