Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($44.89 @ OutletPC)

I'd like to stay around this price range.

That i5 paired with the gtx 750 ti is pretty overkill if all you will be doing is gaming , would recommend investing more in the gpu instead:

What if gaming is less important. I mostly would be running video/photo editing software and many webpages and programs at once. Would the i3 4160 do all that with no lag?

If gaming is less important then easily go for the i5.. would be quite a bit faster than the i3. However, in your build you did forget a case.

 

[bennyboy2015]

I was thinking of re-using an older dell case. Is that fine or is it not that simple?

Eh wouldnt recommend unless you're completely sure everything will fit.. Just to be on the safe side would buy a new one so you dont have to worry about missing anything
