If you can go 1070 it should last you a little bit longer then 980ti.

Change cooler to noctua and boost the processor to stage 1.

I assume that 16GB is enough for your adobe/media use.

drop the ram to lower speed, the timings are better which is more important then speed at this level.

Change your power supply to the other evga 750 watt for $34 if budget allows.     Its the G1,  I believe vs your B1.  Better efficiency, a better supply with double the warranty.  Plus, fully modular for easier swapping, vs partial modular for the B1. 

Good luck.  Big%20Smile
