I'm looking for a good gaming desktop. I have a few in mind, but also wanting to get more opinions on a good optimized PC for gaming and video making/recording for about $1500 or lower.

Inb4 build one yourself. You do realize the market is inflated, right?

You can still find parts for a good enough computer well below that price

You can get an Alienware one with an i5 8400 and gtx 1080 for 1300ish

If you want something for gaming and content creation your gonna want an i7 or Ryzen 7

AUD or USD. Because I bought mine for 1500 AUD which is way less in USD. GTX 960, i5 6600k, 16GB of RAM, 2TB HD and a 120GB SSD for OS and other core programs, and this was a few years ago so those parts would be cheaper now and it runs CSGO at 150fps, Warframe at 120fps and easily does overwatch at the capped 90fps.

GPU's are coming back down slowly, Samsung is now making more memory (which will bring down RAM prices). Soon building it yourself will be cheaper again. If you get your GPU DIRECTLY from Nvidia (their site) they are selling at the MSRP. You should be able to build a beast of a PC. So, build it yourself. lmfao
