No offense, but that build is so full of fail. If I weren't drinking and about to get laid I'd show/tell you why...maybe in the morning if I remember...

First, as was pointed out, original build had 8 sticks of Ram. Fail #1.
Second, Antec 900. Fail #2
Third, P67. Fail #3
Fourth, 570KR model means 3 year warranty, when for the EXACT same price he could have got the AR model and have a lifetime warranty, Fail #4.
Fifth, he could have got 2x 6970's for Less money, means more performance and less power draw. Fail #5
Sixth, he picked a very low quality PSU. Fail #6
Seventh, he picked a very low power PSU for SLI 570's. Fail #7
Eighth, he picked a 2600K for Gaming. Fail #8
Ninth, he's paying over $100 for a 500GB HD. Fail #9
Tenth, he picked a CM V8, a sub par cooler with an above average price, a Hyper 212+ performs equally if not better and is half the price. Fail #10

#1 Was already pointed out and fixed(Still got multiple sticks instead of a 2 stick kit, and could have done better)
#2 Personal preference, some people like the antec 900 case, and since he's the one paying for it, we can't really say much about his choice in cases.(All cases are subjective yes of course, but he's buying a dated case with newer tech, and is going to run into space issues and have less cable management etc etc..)
#3 He isn't buying an ssd and has no plans to o/c so a p67 is fine. Although I did recommend a z68 as well for the graphics addition from the mobo, it's really up to him.(He mentioned possibly oc'ng the CPU if it was possible, see page 2, and if he has no plans on it, then why even get a K series CPU? The SSD is because of current prices on HD's and to show it could fit in his budget easily)
#4 Viable
#5 Again, personal preference. He ended up only getting 1 gpu, and the gtx 570 has higher benchmarks than the 6970. (Yes personal preference, but still a 6970 would have been the better choice, the point of this was to show what he could have got had he posted for help first instead of blindly buying things)
#6 Was pointed out already, OP says he is looking into it.
#7 Was pointed out, OP says he will change it.
#8 2600K is fine for gaming... Not really sure what you mean by this point. (Not fine for gaming when almost every single benchmark has the 2500K beating the 2600K, and it's a $100 less. Plain and simple the i7 is meant for PS, video editing, encoding etc. and as an after thought to that gaming)
#9 HDD prices have doubled recently because the flooding in Thailand, prices wont be back down til 2012, so if he needs the HDD soon, he has to pay that price. (While prices for retail drives have doubled in price due to the flooding, you can still pick up a gently used one for quite cheap, for example see [H] Forums Real Life Section)
#10 Was pointed out already, but it's up to the OP to decide what cooler he wants.(Sure it is up to the OP for every single part in his Pc, doesn't mean it's still not fail, because it is.)

I know what was pointed out and semi fixed, but I was going by original post, even though there is still stuff wrong with his "fix". The point was to show how much better of a system he could have got with his money, if people would only post first before they randomly spend money and buy parts thinking they did good... - I added in some to your response above.

It seems decent for Photoshop, but more RAM would be warranted, then.

i got suspended for this. cry more L4d you tell the guy that 8 dimms of ram isn't enough. and then report me for calling you useless. I stand by it, you should NOT be allowed to post in these forums.

At Master B, I was stating that the i7-2600k and 570 are good for Photoshop, but the OP wanted to play games, so a conclusion should have been drawn that those components could have been changed; I will admit that the stating of adding RAM was unnecessary because that was more of a joke...
