I did hear something about Nvidia coming out with a new card at the end of the month. The 1080 or something like that.  I primarily will be doing a little bit of everything: video editing, photo editing, work and I just recently purchased a 4k TV and need something that can push 4k.

The SSD you have picked is very slow. Honestly barely any faster than a great HDD.

Consider something like a Samsung 850 EVO. Or even two of them in RAID 0 or an Intel 750 for that matter.

So work only? No gaming or such?

I would like to get into OCing. I've never tried overclocking.

1080 Outperforms 980 Ti and a lower price point , unless you need the PC within a few days notice i would wait for it.

Sound cards are useless these days. The H100i is outdated. V300 is one of the worst SSDs. NEX series PSUs are the older series. And GTX 1080 are about to come out. Tell me what you think about this one.

 

You can get Windows 10 off /r/MicrosoftSoftwareSwap for $45.

I agree w/ most of what has been said. I'd wait and get the 1080/1070, or buy a 980 ti after prices drop. To give you some comparision, a 1070 will be similar to a 980ti, and only $370.

Also, get a better ssd. And lastly, I'd start with a 16 gb kit, and upgrade later if you want/need.
