    What will the space be used for? Some areas such as a dining room needs 20 amp circuit with #12 wire. A den can use 15 Amp with #14 wire.

    Certain rooms need GFI protection, others need Arc Fault protection.

    There is no limit of outlets on a residential general purpose circuit.

    You may use the non-residential limit as a guide line of 10 outlets on 15 amp circuit and 13 outlets on a 20 amp circuit.

    I would use a 20 amp circuit if you intend to power the entire room off the one circuit,

    You may also consider adding an extra designated circuit for the "future" a/c unit. It is easier to prewire now than to attempt to add later if needed.
