If your gonna do photo editing, i would say get a i3 4130 because photo shop will benefit from HT or a X4 760/860K instead

BTW you never said a budget..........

I've seen few video showing that 8 is just fine and that 16 is when you use after effect with photoshop

Get an AMD 760K or 860K for photo editing, or even an FX-6300 if you can stretch to it. 

 

8GB will be fine unless you do really high res stuff

It would be fine, and 8GB is enough ram.

Yes, you're wrong and that shocked me loll I though photo editing was kind of using as many cores as video rendering but no. Photo editing benefits from more powerful cores or better single thread performance from G3258 to 4790K

It should do fine, but I would recommend getting a quad core hyper threaded processor instead (such as 4590/4130), it'll be a big performance boost for not that much more.

If it is strictly for editing, I would go for 8gb.

My budget is actually 699 or 799 for the whole rig. I'm sure if i should settle for the regular non k intel i5 instead. I'm planning on building something to compete with the mac mini.

If your gonna make something to compete with the mac mini, then why not get a hackintosh instead or a mac mini?

I already have a hackintosh, and the new mini are crap. And this is for my work.

I have hackintosh with Pentium G860 - like two generations old CPU and it still beat Mac mini in performance. So do not worry. Get non-k i5, 8Gb of good RAM. Most important thing tho is storage - SSD for system and photo editing programs, fast hard drive for rest of the stuff + one or two (in RAID 1) for storing pictures.

Intel Xeon 1230 V2 | Gigabyte GA-H61M-S | Kingston 4Gb RAM 1333Mhz | Seagate 1TB  | Fractial Design Arc mini | Windows 10

So would an g3258 beat out the current mac mini? Graphics needed?

Well this Pentium with good OC and graphics like GTX 750 Ti would be much faster than Mac mini, that uses same CPUs as laptops.

 

Graphics will be usefull with CUDA applications or just for everyday usage. Later it will be possible to play games on it, if you will feel like that. And if not yet, then soon this will be hackintosh possible.
