Starting a new build

[bushmins]

This isn't for me. We just picked out some parts that we thought would be good. Is there anything here that could be done better for less or anything that will bottle neck the build? This is suppose to be an average all round gaming, and photo editing build.
As always thanks for any help.

Based on your budget but note that this does not include monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS.

You can make it cheaper by selecting a different mobo/CPU

What photo editing software will you be using? May well be worthwhile getting the 760 for CUDA acceleration if the programs you use will support it. Will you be doing video editing also? If so, you'll probably want 16GB of RAM

If you are doing a lot of photo editing with large files then I be putting 16 gig in this build rather than 8 gig, also make it 2 x 8 gig sticks incase you want more. I have a few mates who are into photo editing in a big way and both of them have 32 gig systems.

16gb would be optimal for editing IMO
