I want to know if this is the best thing I can get for the price.

That looks very good.

I might argue that Samsung evo 500gb would be a better windows drive.
And WD red would be a better storage hard drive.

Here is a similar build, cheaper case, better SSD even though its a bit smaller, better cooler, and better quality memory. Basically however its the same thing around the same price

SO to answer your question yes its about as good as you will get for $1500

A person on another forum advised me to get a 500W power supply instead and use the leftover money to get more RAM. Can anyone verify if this would be a good choice?

rhobariii :

You do not need more than 16gb of ram unless you are doing HEAVY video editing/3d desgin/etc. I would not waste the money you will see no performance benefit.

You definitely can drop the power supply wattage as long as you stay the same quality. For example the EVGA 550G2 or GS are the same quality, less wattage, and still plenty to run this system. If they told you to get something like the EVGA 500B that is bad advice, its very low quality.

I changed the build a bit, to have it all from Amazon instead of different online shops. Here's the completed thing: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Nefarius/saved/9vfMnQ

I just want to know if it's okay for building.

rhobariii :

Its perfect except the cooler, no reason to use a low profile cooler like that with a normal case. It won't cool as well as a tower.

Either get the Cryorig H7 I recommended or if you like Noctua (I do) get the NH-U12S or NH-U14S if it fits.
