Q. I just would like some help picking out the components, ie. cases processors, ram, graphics cards, power supply, cooling components, disc drives, hard drives, and a video card with hdmi output, and a wireless card. Feel free to add anything...my budget is about 1500 dollars.
A. First of all don't even think about jumping into SLI or Crossfire without doing your research. A gaming machine designed just for gaming should be built around just that. Spend your cash on the graphics cards and work your budget for everything else around that. A fresh Nvidia GTX 295 or ATI Radeon HD 5870 is gonna cost you a little under 500$ still leaving a very healthy 1000$ budget for your other parts. Next order of business would be the power supply, a GTX 295 or ATI 5870 will draw stupidly huge amounts of electricity at full tilt so consider dropping at least 100$ on a quality 750watt+ power supply like a silencer quad or a Corsair TX series.
Next you want to consider your processor and motherboard, you do not need a Core i7 EE for gaming it just isn't necessary in fact you don't even need a quad which will likely chew your budget up like beef jerky, most games do not symmetrically thread across more than 2 cores so a 300$ processor isn't a necessity and the same goes for the board that you plug it into. I bought a Asus P5QL pro from tiger for less than 130$ and it is a incredibly feature rich board for the low cost mated with a Core 2 e7400 or e8400 will yield great results on the cheap. My last build I used a NZXT Apollo which can be had for less than 80$, it is easily the superior case to even my much bigger and more expensive full tower case.
RAM is a tough decision on your part. You can keep this fairly cheap by picking RAM that isn't rated for higher clocks than what it will run under normal circumstances by default will likely net you great savings however it will require to restrict RAM speeds and timings in any overclocking endeavor for an informed customer that is like a death sentence. A e7400 will overclock over 400Mhz with a stock cooler and still stay below 60C which is a pretty noteworthy performance boost, specially for free. Crucial and OCZ make a few kits that aren't insanely expensive and overclock quite nicely.

A. If you're looking for cutting-edge, top of the line...
$2000 - Acer Aspire Predator

Intel Core i7 2.8GHz, 12GB RAM, 1.5TB harddrive
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 470 - rated "10" out of 10
If you aren't really wanting to spend up to $2000, but you still want a really fast computer that'll be equipped for video editing, I would suggest this one:
$1500 - Gateway FX6803-25

Intel Core i7 2.8GHz, 9GB RAM, 1.5TB harddrive
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5850 -- rated "4" out of 10 (but still more than capable for video editing)
