Not overly interested in gaming - main use will be Photoshop/Lightroom. Want to be able to add 4x6Gb HDD (already owned) and PC will be on 24/7 hence the beefed up PSU.
Currently run a AMD Quad Core and have been very happy with it but it's more cart horse than race horse these days

Hey Vale, great setup! The only thing that I can think of that you might want to think about is upping the mobo to an x-570/550 so if you decide to futureproof a little so you can eventually upgrade in the future to a Zen 3 Ryzen and/or PCIE 4.0 cards. That way if you want to upgrade in years to come, you're not having to replace everything!

If you could stretch the budget to get a H115 Platinum cooler, it's worth it as well.
