CPU: Do you need to go with a 6 core? If the stuff you're going to be doing can't take advantage of the extra core then you're going to be building a slower gaming station than if you want with a Skylake i7 build. If you don't need the 6 cores, going to i7 skylake CPU and motherboard would save some cash to put towards a 1080 GPU or higher rez monitor.

SSD: It's overkill if you're not doing high I/O work. Overkill isn't always bad, but if gaming is the most stressful thing you're doing on this build, you could save some cash by going to a mainstream SSD like the 850 Evo and, again, put that money towards a 1080 or high rez monitor.

CPU Cooler: It's not a bad water cooler, but personally I prefer the Nzxt line up. A X61 cooler would fit in your case and do a better job cooling. You could also go with a Cryorig H5 Universal and not really loose much in the way of cooling but drop down in price. If you're not going to overclock, either of these options are pretty overkill.

PSU: Make sure it is of the G3, G2 or GS series. You don't want any G1, B1 series. You could also bring that down to a 550w if you wanted to save cash.

HDD: You don't have one mentioned. Unless all your documents/media/projects will fit on the one SSD, I'd recommend picking up a few TB on a hard drive. HGST is my preferred but WD or Seagate will work just fine too.

Thanks for the replies, I'm not too uptight with 4k graphics but I do want above average. I feel like peripherals are not a problem as well because I do have a 27 inch Samsung curved monitor, @Azaran I appreciate the feedback, and I have looked into the NZXT line up of coolers, I feel like 6-cores is adequate enough for the type of abuse I'll put this PC through with all the editing, multitasking and partial gaming, I might bump down the SSD to the 850 evo and my PSU to a 550w to add in the hard drive and I guess it wouldn't hurt to purchase a 1080 GPU what do you think? Thanks again for the responses!

If you're doing editing, the 6 core makes perfect sense. Even the 950 Pro makes sense at that point. I was only recommending the downgrade if you were strictly gaming. I'd also recommend keeping an eye out for the 960 Pro thats due out next week, it might be worth the upgrade or it may even push down the price of the 950 Pro. As for the PSU, you're running a bit over 400w so a 550w should be a nice model to go for, even if you went with a 1080 you'd still be pushing around 450w. There's nothing wrong with going with a 650w, but if its a major price difference then the 550w would make more sense. But sometimes PSU prices are wacky, so see whats the best deal when you're buying. And for the 1080, if your monitor supports it, go for it. But given the pretty stark difference in prices between the 1070 and 1080, if your monitor cant display what the 1080 is capable of then it may not be worth it.

Any particular reason you're going with a 750w PSU? That build up could easily be done with a 550w (its pulling around 400w I believe) and put the saved money in to a 850 Evo which will give it a much better read/write.

Made a couple of tweak just for discussion sake. Swapped out the SSD for a higher quality one. Swapped out the HDD for equal performance and warranty for about half the price. Kept the case because, while you can go cheaper, damn if that isn't a sexy case. Swapped out the PSU for a quality lower wattage to balance out the costs. Unfortunately to go up in quality and features on the motherboard (USB 3.1 is nice) you have to jump up about $50.
