Is 1500 RPM fan good enough?

It's a good start, but only you can tell once the pc is up and running if it's enough. For high end pc's, it's typically about 4 or 5 fans total, for low end many just use one exhaust, so 1+1 will drop case temps at least @ 10-15°C. If you feel you need more, you can add more, but a 1+1 is a minimum for me.

The optimal speed is the minimal speed at which the CPU and GPU's temperatures are managed to a safe range. So the optimal speeds are low for idle, and high while gaming. 3500 and 2700 RPM do sound pretty high for idle, but it depends on the design of the fans, and could be perfectly normal.
