Help review my PC workstation build list, please and thanks.

If you're doing 95% photoshopping, you don't need 64 G of RAM, 32 G will be more than sufficient for quite some time to come, get 8 sticks of 4G RAM and save yourself a bunch of money (likewise, get 1600 MHz, anything higher is mostly a waste as there's little difference in noticiable change between 1600 MHz and 2400 MHz RAM).

Likewise, you're building a workstation, get a workstation processor and MB, like the Xeon E-5 2603 or 2609 (you really don't need a 3.4GHz processor if your just doing photoshopping, 2.4GHz or even 1.8GHz will be sufficient for years to come). As for MB, get something like Asus Z9PA-U8 or Supermicro X9SRA which are made for what you're looking to do (the MB, and less extent CPU, are made for gaming, not really workstation work).

For a storage drive, you don't need 7.2k RPM, 5.4k RPM will be more than sufficient as well and you could get more overall storage for the same price. Also, there are just as good, if not better, SSDs available than the one you've choose from Intel at a much lower price. Some of the very reliable SSDs out there are from Crucial and Samsung (the 830 or the 840 Pro, 840 isn't as reliable, but the Pro versions are very much so).
