Looking for an up to $1,500 modern PC build please help!

Hi I'm looking for a PC build that will mainly be used for gaming. I would like to be able to run graphics at top notch if I could and am also looking for a build that will not have to be upgraded for awhile. Some things that I am thinking about putting in the build are possibly the new nvidia 980ti when it comes out. But I'm also thinking about waiting until AMD realeases their own graphics card to combat Nvidias. I dont really want to spend to much more than $150 (but I'm up to suggestions) on a case but would like to get a modern cool looking one that keeps everything cool. Box cases are fine but if there are cases out there that stand out I would like to possibly pick one up. I would like to get a solid state drive so the system boots up fast and also a hard drive at least 1 TB. I want some good ram and was wondering if I should get DDR4 or DDR3.I really do not know much about motherboards, processors, or power supplies so if anyone could tell me of some good ones and why they are good that would be great. I'm excited to get a PC to play some new games coming out. Please help. Thanks
