Editing/gaming build for 1000-1500

[TMoore16b]

My girlfriend and I are looking to build a rig. Our budget is between 1000 and 1500 dollars.
Her purpose for the computer is to run Adobe masters collection and mine is to do some gaming. I'd like to start with 16 gb of ram but have a mobo that I can buy more to expand to 32 eventually. Probably an i7 processor. Harddrive will probably be a 1tbish mechanical and a 500gbish ssd. My biggest problem really is narrowing down a good graphics card and the little things in between, heat sinks, fans, power supplies etc. any help you guys could provide me to my first build would be great

Little bit left in the budget so you could get a 980 but if your gaming at 1080p then this will be compleatly ok for it.
