My current WiFi is junk. I've looked at 'all-in-one' setups but I'm really interested in what I may need for a Ubiquiti setup.

Current devices:
Desktop Computer(wired)
PS3(wired)
Television(wired)
ChromeCast(wireless)
2 Smartphones(wireless)

Home is roughly 1500 sq ft. I hope 1 Unifi AC Pro (PoE connected) will be enough wireless coverage. In the near future I'd like to add a NAS or server to store files with the ability to access them from anywhere. Also, I like to use Plex to stream from the desktop to my phone or PS3.

What others equipment besides the wireless access point would you recommend? How difficult would this be to set up with the Ubiquiti software?

A centrally located Unifi AP will cover you just fine. My modem and switch sits in my entertainment center (center of the house). I just ran the cat5 from switch to the Unifi and set it on top of the entertainment center.

Full coverage in house as well as outside. I can actually get 2 bars on my IPhone across the street.
