Need Help Choosing Parts

I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. I Will be using the computer primarily for my Master's program. Be running multiple windows and videos, using Microsoft and Adobe programs. Some light gaming, if and when I have time.

    Looks to be a pretty solid build overall, but there are a couple things I would change around. 

    First, Ryzen third generation likes DRR4-3600 memory, since 3600 is the sweetspot for the Infinity Fabric tech AMD includes in these processors. I would also personally go with a cheaper case and upgrade my PSU to something 80+ Gold probably, but that's not 100% required. 

    Which Adobe programs will you be using? Depending on the exact nature of your work you might benefit from going with Intel as opposed to AMD for the increased single thread performance.
