It'll be ok - not great. Expect $150 GPU gaming performance.

do you guys have any video card recommendation that would best fit on what i wanted to do, like photo editing and games. tnx

What application do you use, Photo editing doesn't really require FirePro cards, the benefit might be specific to an application or application feature.

You should be able to do more than competent editing with a single HD5870 with much better gaming performance.
