I'm getting read to build my first computer and I wanted to make sure that everything that I chose would be good together.

I would be running OS X and Windows 8 or 10. I would need it for gaming (maybe VR), high resolution photo and video editing (using Adobe), creating other content with a variety of Adobe software, and normal uses.

The current part list is:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage: 2x Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
2x Hitachi Deskstar NAS 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

For storage I wanted to create a fusion drive for OS X and then the other SSD would be for windows and highly used applications and the HDD would be for mass media.

For the GPU I want to use the Intel Graphics 530 for OS X and the 1070 for the windows side. Eventually when the 1070 is compatible with OS X add that in.

I won't be powering a 4K monitor, but a good gaming and editing monitor.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and if everything looks good let me know. Thank you in advance
 
Your specs look fine.

I don't have any experience with a Fusion drive on a hackintosh so you will have search a bit to double check it will work...

Nvidia recently released updated macOS drivers with support for Pascal, so your GTX 1070 will work in macOS too.
