All,
Noob to self-builds so very grateful in advance for any/all feedback.
I am looking to build a machine that would be good for photo editing and working remotely (on occasion - nothing intense). I do some video compression too but not too frequently.
Inspired by Boris0729 and a few others, I came up with this:

Not sure if the LG monitor is junky. I'd love to get 27" but will sacrifice size for quality (insert joke here).
Also, I'm thinking about scrapping the internal HD on this machine and building a basic NAS machine for media storage. Thinking I could import/edit photos locally and then transfer them to the NAS for storage. My wife would probably like to do the same with her photos. Thoughts on this approach?
Budget is $1000 (including monitor). I have Windows license.
