- Asus P8Z77-V LE Socket 1155 Intel Z77 Chipset
- Intel Core i7-3770 Quad-Core Socket 1155, 3.4Ghz, 8MB L3 Cache, 22nm (Retail Boxed) Gen3 (BX80637I73770)
- Patriot Viper 3 Mamba Black 32GB (2x16GB) DDR3 1866MHz CL10 DIMMs
- SEAGATE 250G SSD

Thanks

If you know what photo and video editing software you'll be using, go to the websites for those programs and look for what hardware they support. Depending what programs you use, a videocard may not help at all.

On average, when they do use the videocard it's for specific tasks, not all tasks. Therefore, something like a 1050 or 1050 Ti is all you really need. In fact, if I were you I'd run my programs on the integrated graphics first. They might run just fine and you won't need to spend money on a videocard at all.

That would be a complete waste of money for editing in my opinion.

Better off spending the spare cash on more SSDs for a scratch drive etc.
