Honestly, I have no room for a mouse and keyboard that fits the build so I went with cheaper options, which are still pretty good imo.

 

The GTX 1080 Ti should supply you with 100+fps at 1440p and is all-round an amazing build.

 

P.S: Just get unactivated windows, hardly any difference from activated windows, and if you do want it that badly, there are programs out there that can activate it within seconds, which I won't comment on any further for obvious reasons.

Wouldn't a Ryzen R5 or R7 work better for Photoshop than an i7?  I haven't used Adobe in a long time, but would have thought more cores would be beneficial for those tasks.

Not for Photoshop.
