Get that build for :

1. you don't need to OC so why you get i7-4790K ? I put the same CPU but without "K" will deliver same performance.

2. I but Better, cheaper and faster ram .

3. 2xSSD's one for the OS second for other OS or for rendering.

4. you will Use Adobe programs so you will use CUDA so why you chosen AMD GPU ?
I put the GTX 660 which have 960 CUDA cores it's amazing render card !

5. I've changed the wireless card to TP-Link TL-WDN4800 that recommended by TonymacX86 site.
