OK so awhile ago I asked for a build and got a pretty good one but some computer people I talked to questioned some of the choices or thought i could do better. So I thought I'd throw what they are saying back through the mill and get some more feed back. Also since it is black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up I thought if I moved fast now I might be able to squeeze a little more out of my $1100 in Amazon cash.
Thoughts and feedback appreciated.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($184.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock H87M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($82.99 @ Amazon)
---- I have been told by multiple sources that i should get a better Motherboard than this for Photoshop and also because ASRock isn't good. True?
---- Friend suggests Biostar ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150 Motherboards HI-FI Z87X 3D
---- On Logical Increments I think GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H looks good but is $150. Unnecessary?
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($79.99 @ Amazon)
---- I've been told i should have 16GB or 32GB to run Photoshop really well. 32GB sounds like overkill but maybe 16GB
---- "Corsair Black Vengeance is ridiculous" says friend and suggests G.skill Ripjaws X Series 16gb (4 X 4gb) 240-pin Ddr3 Sdram Ddr3 1600 (Pc3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800cl9q-16gbxl.

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card ($251.99 @ Amazon)
---- friend suggests Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 3.0 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/Displayport SLI Ready Graphics Card GV-N660OC-2GD would do just fine.
Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($29.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 620W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($59.99 @ Amazon)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.00 @ Amazon)
---- I wouldn't mind having the Windows 8 here if I could get it for not too much.
Any good Deal I can squeeze on any of this also?
