Beginner Build Help 800-900 Dollar Range

[jgreins]

Hello, im looking for help on what best to buy for my money, i have a budget of 900 dollars max. I also have a windows 7 copy and keyboard and mouse already. I'm planning on trying to find a deal on a monitor as well, possibly used, so i don't need that in the build. What i'm looking for out of the build is being able to play upcoming games with retaliative ease (possibly maxed out or high settings if needed) a 1080p resolution. Also i do photography and video, so i will need it for my all of my adobe software(premier pro, media encoder, Photoshop, etc.) i may be asking too much for my budget price though. I made three builds myself and was wondering which one would be better, or maybe if i should scratch that one out and do something completely different. (also i am not sure on fans).

Anyway, thanks for giving this a read, and any help would be gladly accepted. (sorry if its a lot to look over, just want to make sure im getting the best for my money)

I removed the SSD, because that can be added later on with no problems.
I`d rather add the SSD later, than skimp on the CPU and GPU.
You don`t need the Arctic 5 TIM, because the 212 Evo comes with it`s own, and it`s pretty decent.
I also have it, and the paste is good. I also got the Arctic 5 a few months after I did my build, but only to change the TIM on the GPU, and I wanted something better. However, the difference is something about 1-2 degrees.
