For your current setup... Honestly, I would still run the Phenom II x6 for a while longer. It will need a bit of an overclock, but it is still a very capable processor. Regarding upgrades, I would focus on an aftermarket CPU cooler, power supply, and the largest GPU you can afford. All of these items can be carried forward to a future build so don't feel this is wasting money in your existing rig.

Regarding your Intel build... Pretty solid. My thoughts are below.

MB - The Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI has the same features minus two SATA ports and is cheaper. Either would be fine.
MEM - Great sale on the ones below today!
SSD - Added a MX100. The Samsung 840 EVO is also a great budget minded choice.
HD - The Seagate performs a bit better.
GPU - For $10 more you can pull the Superclocked version which has a bit faster core speed.
CASE - At that price level check out the Corair 200R.
PSU - Look toward XFX or Seasonic.. That EVGA is fine and all, but a bit overpriced. 550w is plenty of power on tap.
MONITOR - Changed to an ASUS with good specs for a bit cheaper.

For your PhII rig, a new GPU might be beneficial, since adobe can take advantage of GPU. Here is what I would go with, to rebuild that one.

Thanks man, can i use my tower case with your build http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ULYPVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ??

The gtx970 is compatible with adobe? for rendering by hardware?

Will be better to take a cheaper gpu card for better processor? like i7?
