For the SSD, I'd get a more solid brand. Intel, Samsung, and Crucial are usually considered the best SSDs, and they're all around the same price (and falling), so I'd go for the higher quality piece.

Also, do you have a mechanical drive? 120 GB is probably not going to be enough storage space for even just the games.

Other than that it looks like a great build!

Here, buy this:

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($324.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme 81.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($102.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Performance ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($133.87 @ Newegg)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($90.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($189.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card ($399.98 @ NCIX US)
Case: NZXT Switch 810 (Black) ATX Full Tower Case ($179.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Corsair 750W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($104.99 @ NCIX US)
Monitor: Asus PA238Q 23.0" Monitor ($229.98 @ NCIX US)
Total: $1757.77

+ TAX, Shipping, OS, Keyboard and Mouse :p 

That $1881.94 total includes TAX and Shipping, but it is still above budget. I'd cut back to the Hyper 212 EVO, i5-3570k, and 8GB of RAM. HT isn't needed for some photoshop and neither is the 16GB of RAM. Unless it is professional editing that needs to be done ASAP, forget about those extras.
