Keldrilh,
The specs you have provided look good, but I do have a few things to share...
The video card you specced is overkill for Photo Shop. PS, at the moment, supports only a limited number of GPU accelerated functions, so you can save money (and generated heat) by going with a card in the 4 GB VRAM range.
As mentioned in post #2, it is a good idea to keep your 'working' *.PSB files on the SSD. The performance will be much improved over editing files stored on the WD Black. While RAID 0 is nice from a performance standpoint, if one of the disks fails, you lose all the data. Therefore, If you go this route, you will need a robust backup setup (you should have this anyway, as a matter of course).
One more thing about drives: M2 PCIe SSD's will throttle performance when they heat up. Therefore, I would stay with the Samsung 960, which is an excellent drive.
You will need a fairly hefty power supply. I suggest an 850W.
One final note: Your system as specced is going to generate a lot of heat, so be absolutely sure you have enough intake and exhaust fans.
I do not usually recommend PC builders, but you might want to check out
Puget Systems in Auburn WA. They know their stuff.
