I'm sure either Fish or Pants or Big Richard etc. can help you once they notice this thread. Good luck.

*edit* one thing i can tell you is you want a 1080 gpu and Intel i7 cpu, preferably 7th gen. (Kaby Lake).

No need for a 7th gen, they are exactly the same as the 6th gen.

However, you may consider looking at broadwell-e (6800k) over skylake (6700k) as you will lose about 10 % of single core speed but gain about 30% in multi threaded applications like photoshop. If you are saying 'its for photoshop!' but care more for games, then a 6700k is the right choice.
