So this is my first PC build that I am currently working on. My budget is close to $800 and its around $810 right now which is good. I'm willing to bump it up to around $900 if need be. I'm going to want the option of dual booting into either OSX or Windows, so all of my parts are currently Hackintosh compatible ;D. Any part suggestions are greatly appreciated, as well as anything I forgot/should look into, as this is my first build.
I already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and I will not need an OS.
I'll also be playing games such as BF4, DayZ, etc. As well as using Photoshop & After Effects.

Drop to 8gb ram if you can make up to a 770 it would be well worth it
That power supply won't be any good it won't power any mid end GPU so I'd suggest a xfx 550w unit also if you won't overclock get the non k i5 with a b85 motherboard it's a lot cheaper
I'd remake your build but I'm currently on my phone

Odd choice of memory kit, K-CPU with H87 chipset, and the forbidden toxic fruit that is a case & PSU combo.
I suggest you find a way to fit a GTX 770/R9 280x in there and get a more suitable amount and proper kit of memory. Get a locked i5 as you'll save a couple of bucks, keeping that motherboard. Grab standalone PSU/case.
RAM (f*cking christ, this stuff never gets cheaper) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
i5 4570 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
PSU (650w) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Case (up to you tho, this one is strictly functional) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
GTX 770 (pref. over r9 280x) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
