Personally, I would go with a i7-3770K, Z77 mobo, single GTX 670/680 and 32Gb of RAM.

Personally...for photo/video Editing...even if i can't work with that...i would buy a mac

He can just make a hackintosh.... Macs are overpriced imo. And yeah... 32gb ram would be better suited to that rig

i had been looking at the LGA2011 3930K CPU and a Gigabyte GA-X79S-UP5-WIFI which is another option

The problem with the i7 in this case is that it doesn't have a triple-channel memory controller.

Then buy an Apple...
