In this build I will be doing a lot of photoshop and probably some video editing.
I will also be playing games like Leauge of Legends, Deadpool, online games, maybe minecraft, Witcher 3, and Arkham Knight. I got the 120 Gigabyte SSD for the OS. I got the Other SSD for everything else.

Great build and parts will do what you need very fast. Some comments:
Get a IPS screen. Better colors and accuracy. TN is great for gaming but not for photo editing.
Add a pair of Corsair SP fans to replace the loud H100i ones.
Do you need a 1TB SSD? Would 500gb be enough and then you could add a 1TB HDD to backup your work.
That case is alright, but this build warrants something better. Consider The Phanteks Enthoo Pro.
All the best.

It's a fairly decent build, but the 1TB SSD is unneccesary, especially since you're only using a GTX 970. This would serve you better, especially since you're doing photoshop/editing.
