I'm building a PC for my friend. He wants something where he can edit video, use photoshop, do effects, etc. at a high level. Should I recommend a GPU to him? I'm putting a 4770k in the build, and I want to keep prices around $1000. Any suggestions?  

If he doesn't plan on gaming maybe allocate that budget towards things like RAM, more hard drive space, a nicer CPU.
