Nice build.  Got all of my parts from Newegg as well when I built mine.  I built it for the same reason, I couldn't find one built with all of the "stuff" I wanted and how I wanted it.  When I started to get into photography I learned quickly the laptop I had wasn't going to cut it.  I think my computer is about 7 years old now and showing it's age.  I've been thinking about building or updating mine but not high enough priority list I guess.  It still does ok and handles my webwork but when I process a lot of photo's I get up and do something else for a while.  Shoot, mine is old enough that I can only get 8gig of memory max.  :(  Your's is a power house!  

 

Good call on the SSD's.  I've set mine up much like yours. Those SSD's are super fast and no moving parts!  Hope they cost on bigger ones will come down.  One of the best things I've added other than dual 24" monitors.

When I did the original 2012 build in March of that year I bought a 180GB  SSD for $290 -- that's $1.61/GB

In August of that same year I bought a 240GB SSD for $230 -- $0.96/GB

In March of 2014 I bought my current 512GB SDD for $390 -- $0.76/GB

 

Right now on Newegg you can find very-good 1TB SSDs for under $400 -- less than $0.40/GB

 

Of course, you can buy spinning-disk hard drives for $0.04/GB -- one tenth the cost.... so SSDs are still very expensive, but no longer very, very expensive. ;)

I did not know you could change the windows defaults. Should have looked into that. My bigger issue is just hitting install then later realizing I didn't change drives. Programs that don't you an option to change drives though /grrrrrr.
