Hi,
I'm planning to build a CustoMac Pro to use photoshop, lightroom and after effects mainly.

Here is what I wanted to buy:
- Motherboard: Asus Z170-PREMIUM Carte Mère Intel ATX Socket 1151
- CPU: Intel Skylake Processeur Core i7-6700K 4.0 GHz 8Mo Cache Socket 1151
- CPU Cooler: Corsair CW-9060017-WW Hydro Series H80i GT 120mm
- Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti (EVGA 06G-P4-4990-KR or Gigabyte N98TG1 GAMING-6GD)
- RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 64GB Kit (16GBx4) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin Memory
- Power supply: CORSAIR RM650X 80+ 650w GOLD MODULAR PSU
- SSD: Samsung SSD 500 Go Série 850 EVO M.2
- WiFi: TP-LINK Archer T8E Adaptateur PCI ExpressWi-Fi Double Bande AC1750
- Case: Corsair CC-9011076-WW Carbide Series 330R Blackout

I have a few questions about this config:
- first, did I make any obvious mistake? should it work with El Capitan?
- which graphic card should I buy for what I intend to do?
- is the WiFi card necessary or does the motherboard has already it inside?
- how do I add bluetooth and firework support?
- do I need other things? I was thinking about more fans for exemple.

Thx a lot for your help.

There are certain firewire cards that will work with your Customac. You'll use one of the motherboard's PCI-e
slots to connect it. Bluetooth usb dongles are listed in the Buyer's Guide. Try the Gmyle brand if you can get it.
All the info is here if you use search to find it.
