The parts need to beable to play games on high/ultra for years to come. I also need it to do video and photo editing. I don't need a OS, keyboard, mouse, moniter and case.

Are you ever going to get into Overclocking? Need to know so some things to change so price isn't so high, anyways gave you 16gb of ram with the option to go 32 gb later on because of your editing. One of the best single GPU on the market right now and a Good PSU so it can handle SLI if you wanted to run 2 cards. Also the PSU is full modular which means easier cable management. This could be changed for a cheaper one if your not showing off the inside, also we could change the cpu cooler to a closed water loop if your into OCing

Or just for a change here is same parts but running 2 R9 280x, I would suggest ordering 1 r9 280x for now and if you find you need another one down the road. Order it then

Dual R9s? Get a single GTX 780 instead and then add one later on. It exceeds Titan level performance for far less money. Do something like this:

I do agree with you on the dual R9s but they would be faster than just the 780. I was just giving him both options of what would fit into his budget right now
