i havent included monitor, hdd or peripherals as i have them allready


Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac), Intel Z97, Socket 1150, Motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX Nvidia Graphics Card - 2GB
Aerocool X-Predator Black Large Tower Gaming Case No PSU
Corsair Memory Vengeance Pro Series Silver 8GB DDR3 2133 MHz Dual Channel Desktop

would this processer be ok ?? >> http://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-xeon-e3-1240-v3-s-1150-haswell-quad-core-34ghz-base-38ghz-turbo-8mb-cache-80w-retail

also what is the difference, 16gb ram is a good idea
 
there's nothing wrong with that one. I got the 1230 v2.

seems like you're building a high end gamer instead of something for "work".

I put my money into the cpu and graphics for gaming/work. I buy less expensive boards and load up on ram. if you try a little harder you could knock a lot of expense out of that build.

There is quite a lot of different options available so what I shall ask is can you reccomend me a list of equipment for a photo editing computer with the occasional video but I want to do a lot of video editing in the future to must be upgradeable the only piece I'm 100% getting is the motherboard
