final check for ~1,000 gaming/photo editing build
~1,000 USD build in the US. Used for higher refresh rate gaming at 1080p or 1440p. The budget is for the tower only, with an emphasis on higher-quality components that will make it easier to upgrade in the future (higher-quality case, big SSD, pretty good PSU). It will also be used for small to medium creative tasks like photo/video editing. I know CES is around the corner, and what Intel is doing is interesting, but this configuration seems reasonable at the moment.
