First Build Help

Hey it’s my first time building a pc until now I have been using a MBPr (Late 2012) which is slacking a bit with my workflow right now consisting of Lightroom and general content creation (Final Cut, Photoshop, Sketchup). I want to stick with Mac OS, but adding Windows for gaming mostly. Any help would be appreciated.

A couple of questions:

*Any way to make the pc cheaper without degrading performance?

*Any compatibility issues for dual boot?

 

Your opinion in my component selection would be nice too.

Thanks
