You wont get closer to your budget without compromise on the hardware

Obvious place to cut costs a little is an i5 rather than i7 CPU, or at least go down to a quad rather than 6 core i7 CPU?. Depending on your software that might perhaps hurt the photo editing, but very very few games are that multi threading.

Also seems to be quite a high priced motherboard. You might not actually see a difference if you looked at something a bit less?
