Advice on fine tuning new build

[tyschr]

Hi everyone. I'm setting up for a new build, I'm not a pro by any stretch but I did a build about 3 years ago so it's not totally new for me. This is what I have so far:

Approximate Purchase Date: within the next 2 weeks or so

Budget Range: I'd like to keep it under 1300

System Usage from Most to Least Important: photo editing, gaming, general entertainment

Are you buying a monitor: I want to run a dual monitor setup

Parts to Upgrade: Starting fresh, I'm definitely open to suggestions on my part choices

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: whatever works

Location: New Smyrna Beach, Fl. Not much in the way of tech stores around here so everything will likely be ordered online

Parts Preferences: I'd like to stick with the i7, beyond that I'm not picky

Overclocking: No. Over my head.

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe down the road, not right now

Your Monitor Resolution: Something on the better end of "good", not 4k or 3d though

Additional Comments: I'd like to keep the case as small as possible, I'm not committed to the one I listed, it's just something that works with what I've got. Don't care too much about windows or lights, compact size has got priority over aesthetics

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Need a beefier machine basically.

Forgot to add- I also need advice on whatever extra cables/hardware I'll need. Last build I did I came up short on SATA cables and had to order more...and who wants to wait another week when you've got a brand new machine just sitting there? Let me know if anything I have on there is superfluous (i.e. not sure if I really need the extra case fan) Thanks for the input!
