Photo editing PC Build - £1200(ish) - Help

Hi,

I'm wanting to build a desktop PC that is suited to photo editing.

I've done a rough build list, but was wondering if people had any opinions on what I should get? I did also read that Nvidia Quadro graphics might be better for my needs.

Also, is it going to be worth me waiting until Skylake?

I have £1200 to spend but could stretch to £1400 if needed.

Thanks for any help in advance.

No just the base unit. Thanks.

Thank you for your response.

Is the quad core 4790k generally considered better for what I want over say a 6 core i5820k? (Bear in mind I'm not adverse to a bit of overclocking)

Do we have any idea when Skylake will be released for the kind of processor I need? Seems early processors will be mainly quadcore

I've got a spare Samsung PM851 lying around, from a Lenovo laptop. Seems daft not to make use of it, unless Evos are that much better?
