I think your software can make good use of lots of ram for workfiles
To that end, I might suggest a 32gb kit of 2 x 16gb DDR4 2400 speed.

Samsung pro 240/500gb is very good.
Use a hard drive for bulk video storage.
Likely, WD red would be good.
Here is a discussion on other wd options:

Because you will not be playing games, you have no need for a high priced graphics card and you could simply use integrated graphics.
But, check your apps; I think some will use the CUDA cores of a nvidia discrete graphics card.
GTX1050 will have 640 CUDA cores.

A simple sata dvd burner is cheap. Only buy a Blu-ray drive if you will deal with bluray content.
If in doubt, buy...

RAM: Plentiful. Storage: Yes.As long as your case and Mobo support it. GPU: I need a price to work with. I would go Blue Ray. PSU: 500-600 watts. Cooling: CPU heat sync, and a few fans. -PCth

Processor: i7 is exactly what you need, if you will not overclock then dont spend the extra money for K serries, if you are going to overclock you will need an aftermarket cooler

RAM is enough as long as the files you are editing are less then 16gb

SSD plus HDD combo is just fine. If you can afford it, the M2 ssds are even faster then SATA ones.

GPU: For sure go with NVIDIA and not AMD. NVIDIA cards have what is called CUDA cores and Adobe software will take advantage of these. Thus NVIDIA gpus will help your performance in photoshop, indiesign, lightroom, premire pro, etc; while AMD will not.
If you can get 970 at a bargin then that is fine, otherwise go for the newer model which is the 1070

Optical Drive: If you think you will need to read/write disks that are larger then 9gb then get a blu ray drive, if not it would be a waste.

PSU: You need 600w for a single 970 or 1070. Seasonic and XFX make good power supplies. EVGA B2/G2 serries, Rosewill Capstone, and Antec True Power are also good.

Case: User Preference. Fractial, Phanteks, Corsair, NZXT all make good medium-higher end cases.

Cooling: Should have at least 4 fans in there 2 Front Intake, 1 Top and 1 Back for exhaust

Bluetooth/Wifi. There is motheboards with this built in but I would not advise.
Hardwired ethernet is by far the way to go for internet so that will always be best, if you absolutly can not run a wire then powerline adapters will still be better then wifi.
For bluetooth I would just use a USB dongle, they are small and not really a factor.

If in doubt, buy nothing until you actually find a need for it.

The psu wattage needed is determined by the graphics card you plan on using.
Here is a chart:

I might suggest something in the 500-600w range so you have the option to upgrade to a gaming quality graphics card.
have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.
Look for a Seasonic psu; it will be top quality.

Cases are a personal thing. Buy one that visually appeals to you.
Your motherboard is ATX size so look for a ATX tower, (not ITX or M-ATX)
One criteria for me is to have a washable front intake filter that will keep my parts clean.
Most will come with a couple of fans which will do the job; no need for extra.

No need for a sound card, all modern motherboards include good sound.

You can buy a USB to sdhc adapter like this

The motherboard will include lan connector. If you need wifi and Bluetooth, you can buy an add in card like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124153&cm_re=wifi_bluetooth_adapter-_-15-124-153-_-Product
It has an antenna which figures to be stronger than a usb dongle.
