PC build, please give opinion. Its main use is going to be for video editing and some gaming. My budget is around $1500.

I think you can do better/cheaper. That psu,although very good,is pretty high wattage which you don't need and very expensive as well.For a build with one of those gpu's would a good 550watt psu already be good enough and even for sli of most current gpu's would a good 750 watt be enough.
You could do better with the money saved or keep it in your pocket.I made some changes,look at least at the ssd and psu i use,

Not bad for the money you're putting into it. I also regularly recommend building PCs especially with newer components. However, there are times where I might recommend a prebuilt, and even refurbished prebuilt. Again, I think you'll be happy with the specs provided, but I'd look into someplace like servermonkey.com and see what they got in the way of workstations. You might be able to find a T5500 or T7500 and ask to have a 2nd CPU with Riser. For less than $500 you can get dual Hex core XEON CPUs, 32GB "Registered" DDR3 memory, and still throw in your drives and video card. Might even be able to put a little more money into the video card and other hardware. Again, just a thought.

Other smaller,but faster option for an ssd would be this,

or when in stock,
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZNBrxr/samsung-960-evo-250gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-mz-v6e250

If keeping it just at such a cpu would this psu be a very nice one too,

The watercooler gives a nice view on all parts and is a good cooler,but maybe loud at high stress levels.You could look at better than the 212 EVO though.

What i want to show you that there are more possibilities within your budget and better ones.Besides what to pick as motherboard.Certainly looking at the psu,well perhaps not better but at least as good and at a lower price point.

One more thing,when using a quad channel board use quad channelram as picked.Get as much performance out of it as you can. ;)
