We'll need to know a budget. Are you going to be gaming also?
 

$300 USD is pretty high for a used R9 290...

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

yep and my budget would probably be around $1000 and would yall suggest x99 for photo editing or would that be overkill

Depends. Are you going to be frequently video editing? I doubt you could fit in a GTX 1070 and a X99 rig in a $1000 budget. You'd be looking at $1300 with everything. Perhaps $1250 if you can reuse your storage.

 

If I were you, I'd go for a Xeon 1231 v3 which basically a i7 4770 without the iGPU. Contains hyperthreading which would be extremely beneficial for video editing. You'd be within your $1000 budget:
