New Build Plan !

true. But op said they might do PhotoShop and video editing in which case lga2011-3 is simply more powerful

z97 can do that aswell, the only thing that more cores do in that situation is to lower the rendering times.

Well video editing i something I might do like once a year or something. Photoshop might be used a bit more

I might go skylake which claims 6 cores on the $300-$400 price range at a much lower cost

you'd need a new mobo in that case. That's z107

This is what I would recommend, but if you want to stick with AMD whateves 

 

 

 

probably get a 250gb Samsung 850 evo and get a Hitachi or wd drive rather than Seagate just for reliability. I've never personally had a problem by apparently plenty of people have.

 

 

The 650w and 750w NEX models are bad for their price.

There are better options at this price range.
